The petitioner who is working as Assistant Executive Engineer (Electrical) is before this Court being aggrieved by the impugned transfer order dated 20.02.2019.

2. At the instance of this Court, the respondent has passed an Official Memorandum dated 01.04.2019 permitting the petitioner to continue in the present post till 31.05.2019. The Official Memorandum dated 01.04.2019 has been placed on record along with a memo dated 02.04.2019.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the relief sought for by the petitioner has been granted and the grievance of the petitioner has been remedied.
4. In view of the above, the impugned order dated 20.02.2019 having been superseded the Official Memorandum dated 01.04.2019 and the impugned order dated 20.02.2019 at Annexure-G is not given effect to. Therefore, there is no need to quash the same.
In that view of the matter, this petition stands disposed of.
