Respondent(s) For Petitioner(s) : Mr. Anand Kumar Kujur, Advocate For State : Mr. Devesh G. Kela, Panel Lawyer For Respondent No.5 : Ms. Deepa Singh, Advocate on behalf of Mr. Sandeep Dubey, Advocate Hon’ble Mr. Justice Amitendra Kishore Prasad Order on Board 07.01.2026 1. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that although the petitioner had initially challenged the order of suspension, during the pendency of the present petition the petitioner has since superannuated. It is further submitted that a departmental enquiry was conducted against the petitioner, wherein the charges framed against him were found to be proved. 2. Learned counsel for the respondents submit that the petitioner has retired during the pendency of the present petition and, therefore, nothing survives for adjudication. It is contended that the present petition has become infructuous and is liable to be dismissed on that ground alone. 3 3. This Court has heard learned counsel for the parties at length and has perused the pleadings and documents on record with due care. 4. It is not in dispute that the petitioner has already superannuated from service and that the challenge in the present petition is confined to the order of suspension. In view of the admitted position that the petitioner is no longer in service, no effective relief can be granted in the present proceedings insofar as the challenge to the suspension order is concerned. 5. Accordingly, this Court is of the considered opinion that the present petition has become infructuous and deserves to be disposed of. However, liberty is reserved to the petitioner to file a fresh and appropriate petition, in accordance with law, for redressal of his grievance relating to the grant of service and/or retiral benefits, if any, which are alleged to have been denied on account of the suspension. 6. Consequently, this petition is disposed of with the aforesaid liberty. Sd/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad) Judge Saxena
