COMMON ORDER
Mr.K.S.Viswanathan, learned counsel on record for writ
petitioners in the captioned two writ petitions is before this
Virtual Court. Mr.C.Selvaraj, learned State counsel is before
this Virtual Court on behalf of Respondents 1 and 2 in both the
writ petitions. The third respondent in both the writ petitions
is a private respondent. They have entered appearance through a
counsel, name of the counsel is shown in the cause list, but
there is no representation. However, this is of no significance
and does not come in the way of disposal of captioned writ
petitions owing to the fair submissions made by learned counsel
for writ petitioners.
2. Learned counsel for writ petitioners submits that both
captioned writ petitions have been filed assailing orders of
suspension, but pending writ petitions, impugned suspension
orders were since revoked and writ petitioners are now in
service. Learned counsel, therefore, submits that captioned two
writ petitions have now become infructuous and the same can be
disposed of as closed without expressing any opinion or views on
the contentions and rights of the writ petitioners.
3. In the light of the narrative thus far, captioned two
writ petitions are disposed of as closed (having become
infructuous) without expressing any opinion or views and leaving
open all the contentions of the writ petitioners. There shall
be no order as to costs.
