Date of decision: 23/12/97

ORAL JUDGEMENT : In this petition filed in 1986, the petitioner had challenged the order of transfer and the apprehended suspension. The petition was admitted in 1986.

2. After lapse of 12 years there is no point in entertaining and deciding this petition as it has become infructuous. If the suspension is continued for an unduly long period or if the petitioner has been punished, it would be entirely a different cause of action, for which the present petition need not be continued.

3. Hence dismissed. Rule is discharged. No order as to costs. -oOo- karim*
