Mehinder Singh Sullar, J (Oral )
The petitioner, in the instant writ petition, has sought the quashment of impugned charge-sheet dated 23.6..1989 on the ground of delay and latches.
At the very outset, learned counsel for the respondents submitted that, since the impugned enquiry has already been completed against the petitioner, so the writ petition has become infructuous.
This factual matrix has been acknowledged by learned counsel for the
petitioner.
In this view of the matter, the writ petition is hereby dismissed as
having become infructuous.
