Telangana High Court (Surepalli Nanda, J.) — W.P. No. 4450 of 2022, decided 01-07-2025: DISMISSED AS INFRUCTUOUS, WITHOUT COSTS. The petitioner, Deputy General Manager with the Nalgonda Rangareddy Milk Producers Mutually Aided Cooperative Union Ltd., had sought a mandamus to continue him in service till 61 years, invoking the amendment to the Telangana Public Employment (Regulation of Age of Superannuation) Act, 1984 (Act No. 3 of 2021) enhancing superannuation from 58 to 61 years (G.O. Ms. No.45 Finance (HRM-II) dt. 30-03-2021; Cir. Memo dt. 04-04-2021; Bye-Law No. 32.4 of the Society). On the representation of counsel for respondent No.2 that the subject issue stood squarely covered by the Division Bench judgment of this Court dated 02.05.2025 in W.A.Nos.1351 & 1352 of 2024, the Court held that the cause of action did not survive for adjudication, dismissed the writ petition as infructuous, made no order as to costs, and closed pending miscellaneous petitions, if any. No adjudication on merits; the interim plea for continuance beyond 31-01-2022 (I.A. No.1 of 2022 under S.151 CPC) fell away with the dismissal.
