G.M. Joshi for the petitioner stated before the Court that the petitioner has already retired. In that view, it could not be disputed, in the facts of the case, that the petition has become infructuous due to passage of time and in view of intervening retirement of the petitioner.
3. In light of above, the petition is dismissed as having become infructuous. Rule is discharged. Interim relief, if any, stands vacated. No order as to costs.
