Siri Pal v. Ut of Chandigarh and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
Punjab & Haryana High Court, Chandigarh; CWP-30887-2018; Siri Pal v. Union Territory Chandigarh and Others; Jagmohan Bansal, J.; decided 18.08.2025. Service-law writ under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India challenging order dated 19.11.2018 (Annexure P-4) proposing reversion from Head Mali to Mali; dismissed as infructuous because petitioner had already retired as Head Mali. Useful for disposal practice where writ petitions are defeated by retirement rather than decided on merits; no precedent treatment, no statutory interpretation beyond invocation of Articles 226/227.
What did the court decide?
The writ petition was dismissed as having been rendered infructuous, the petitioner having already retired as Head Mali; the proposed reversion itself was not adjudicated on its merits. ¶16
