ORDER
(Order of the Court was made by S.M.SUBRAMANIAM, J. )
The learned Central Government Standing Counsel appearing on behalf
of the writ petitioners would submit that the issue involved is transfer and the second respondent retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation. Thus the cause vanished and no further adjudication needs to be undertaken. Consequently, the writ petition stands disposed of as infructuous. No costs. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
