The challenge is to the Departmental Inquiry initiated against the petitioner, saying that it is proceeding in violation of the provisions of Rules 36 and 37 of the Maharashtra Employees of Private Schools (Conditions of Service) Rules, 1981. 3. The matter was listed before this Court on 23.04.2014. The Court clarified that there is no stay to the Departmental Inquiry and the Management is free to pass an appropriate order in the matter. 4. Mr. N.N. Thengre, who appears for the Management, submits that he has no knowledge as to whether an order has been passed. 5. The pleadings indicate that the petitioner was to retire in the year 2014. Considering the time span lost in the petition and further the fact that nobody is appearing for the petitioner, there is every reason to believe that either the purpose of filing petition has been served or that it has rendered infructuous. 6. The petition is accordingly disposed of. Kartikeya 2026:BHC-NAG:11336-DB (2) 6-WP-1861-2014 7. Copy of order shall be served upon the petitioner for taking necessary steps, if so advised.
