”The petitioner submits that the writ pet. has been rendered infructuous in view of petitioner having attained superannuation. He had claimed the benefits for the service rendered. Hence, relief of reinstatement will not survive. Hence, the writ petition may kindly be disposed in the above terms, to meet the ends of justice.”
