Daya Chaudhary, J. (Oral)
The dispute in the present case is of seniority.
On the last date of hearing, none was present on behalf of the petitioner. The counsel, who filed the present petition, is no more and notice was issued to the petitioner, which has been received back unserved with the report that the petitioner has retired from service.
It appears that nothing survives in the present petition.
Dismissed as having become infructuous.
However, in case, something survives in the present petition,
the petitioner is at liberty to move application for recalling of the order.
