This appeal has been filed for setting aside order dated 18.02.2022 passed by learned Single Bench whereby CWP-3937-2020 filed by present appellant has been dismissed. 2. Learned counsel for appellant submits that prayer in writ petition is for directing respondent - Department to allow appellant (writ petitioner) to join his duties by passing appropriate posting orders and release arrears of salary. However, in the interregnum, appellant has attained the age of superannuation. Moreover, Department has also passed an order dismissing him from service. It is, thus, fairly stated that present appeal is practically rendered infructuous, however, appellant seeks liberty to take up all the pleas as may be available and as are raised in present appeal in appropriate proceedings, challenging the order of dismissal. 3. Appeal is, accordingly, disposed of as infructuous with liberty to appellant as aforementioned. There is no expression of opinion on the merits of the matter.
