                                                               W.A(MD)Nos.1358 & 1359 of 2011


                                              COMMON JUDGMENT
                                  (Judgment of the Court was delivered by
                                       PUSHPA SATHYANARAYANA,J.)



                          These Writ Appeals are preferred by the third party, who is not a

                    party to the writ proceedings in W.P(MD)Nos.8671 & 8672 of 2009,

                    dated 20.04.2011.



                          2.The     appellant    in   both    the   Writ    Appeals,      viz.,

                    P.Kalayanasundaram, died on 15.02.2020.



                          3.These Writ Appeals were filed by the deceased appellant on

                    the ground that he was not impleaded as a party to the Writ Petitions.

                    His grievance was that the seniority which existed right from 1998

                    was sought to be unsettled, which is violative of Rule 35(f) of the

                    General Rules for Tamil Nadu State and Subordinate Service.



                          4.The     learned   Government     Advocate   appearing   for    the

                    respondents 2 to 4 submitted that subsequently, the seniority of the

                    appellant was fixed and he was promoted and now that the appellant

                    himself was dead, the question of considering his seniority does not

                    arise and submitted that nothing survives for adjudication in these

                    Writ Appeals.

                          5.In fact, the learned Government Advocate appearing for the

                    respondents 2 to 4 has produced a proceedings of the third

                    respondent, dated 15.10.2020, wherein, the son of the appellant is

                    considered for compassionate appointment for the post of Pharmacist.



                          6.In the light of the above, these Writ Appeals have become

                    infructuous and the same are dismissed as infructuous. No costs.

                    Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed.
