HON'BLE ANISH KUMAR GUPTA, J.
1. Sri Lallan Prasad Pal, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in
the instant case the petitioner has already been granted the minimum pay
scale of Rs. 18,000/- with arrears, therefore, the instant petition has
become infructuous. Thus, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks to
withdraw the instant petition.
2. Accordingly, the instant petition is dismissed as withdrawn.
3. The benefits already granted/accrued to the petitioner shall not be
withdrawn till the age of superannuation of the petitioner herein, subject
to their satisfactory performance. If the petitioner is found not working to
the satisfaction of the department concerned or is guilty of misconduct
etc., his services can be terminated by the respondents after following due
process of law and giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioners in
this regard.
4. Let this case be delinked from bunch matters and shall not be shown in
the cause list.
