Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the reversion order was pending consideration hence, the said issue needs to be decided. 7. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the records of the present case with his able assistance. 8. In the present petition, the challenge was to the order of reversion dated 27.02.2003 (Annexure P-5) by which, the petitioner was reverted from the post of Superintendent Grade-II (General) to Senior Assistant. The said order was stayed vide order dated 10.03.2003 and the petitioner continued working on the post of Superintendent Grade-II and has already retired from service on 30.11.2009 i.e.16 years ago. 9. Keeping in view the fact that the petitioner is a retired employee as of now for more than 1 ½ decade, the respondents are directed not to give effect to the impugned order dated 27.02.2003 (Annexure P-5) any further. 10. Petition is accordingly disposed of. 11.
