Judgment
(Judgment of the Court was delivered by S.M.Subramaniam J.) Learned counsel for the 5th respondent Dr.P.Kamalakannan would submit that he was appointed to the post of Principal of the 4th respondent college and retired from service on 31.04.2024. Since the appointment of the 5th respondent was under challenge and he reached the age of superannuation, the cause does not exist any more. If at all any other grievance exists to the appellant, he is at liberty to approach the authority in the manner known to law.
2. With this observation, the writ appeal stands disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed. (S.M.S.,J.) (K.G.R.,J.) 25-08-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Neutral Citation: Yes/No KST
