As common issues are involved in the captioned petitions, with the consent of both sides, the same are hereby disposed of by this common order.

However, these benefits which were granted on 5.5.2003, have now been withdrawn vide Annexure P-8 on the ground that the benefit of reservation is not admissible to the rank of Sub Inspector. Learned counsel contends that the post of Sub Inspector is a Class-III post and hence, as per instructions of Haryana Government, the petitioner would be entitled to the benefits already granted to him. Notice of motion for 12.7.2007. In the meantime, operation of Annexure P-8 shall remain stayed.” 4. The petitioner has retired on attaining the age of superannuation. On account of interim orders, she continued to hold rank of SI and was further promoted as Inspector. 5. In the backdrop, this Court does not find it appropriate to return findings on merit. It would be in the interest of justice and fitness of things if interim order is made absolute. Accordingly, interim order dated 13.02.2007 is hereby made absolute. 6. Disposed of. 7. Pending application(s), if any, shall also stand disposed of.
