( 1 ) SERVICES of the petitioner who was working as Chief Executive (Corporate Affairs) in Swadeshi Polytex Limited (respondent No. 2), a public limited company, were terminated by order dated20june 1991 of the third respondent- Chairman and Managing Director (CMD)ofrespondentno. 2,anofficer of the Indian Administrative Service. The petitioner seeks an appropriate order, or a writ of certiorari quashing that order being violative of principles of natural justice and violative of Articles 14 and 21 of the Constitution. He further seeks an appropriate direction or order or writ in the nature of mandamus declaring that the third respondent had no legal authority to terminate his services. There is also a prayer that the appointment of the third respondent as C. M. D. of the company was itself irregular and void, but that prayer has not been pressed. Yet another prayer was that a direction, writ or order be issued directing the respondents to continue the services of the petitioner till the completion of his service tenure. Since during the pendency of the writ petition that service tenure was over, again this prayer was not pressed, it having become infructuous.
