dismissed.

Pending application(s), including application

for intervention, shall also stand disposed of.”

The petitioner has since then taken a decision on 5^th March,

2019 to terminate the LARSGESS Scheme and the decision so taken is

as under:-

“In compliance of the directions of the Hon’ble

Punjab & Haryana High Court dated 27.04.2016 in CWP No.7714

of 2016, dated 14.07.2017 in RA-CW-330-2017 and Orders of

Hon’ble Supreme Court dated 08.01.2018 in SLP (C)

No.508/2018, Ministry of Railways have revisited the

LARSGESS Scheme duly obtaining legal opinion and consulted

Ministry of Law & Justice. Accordingly, it has been

decided to terminate the LARSGESS Scheme w.e.f. 27.10.2017

i.e. the date from which it was put on hold. Therefore, no

further appointments should be made under the Scheme

subject to position mentioned in para 2 below.

2.

As regards the cases where the wards had completed

all formalities including Medical Examination under

LARSGESS Scheme prior to 27.10.2017 and were found fit, but

the employees are yet to retire, the matter is pending

consideration before the Hon‘ble Supreme Court and further

instructions would be issued as per directions of the

Hon’ble Court.”

Since the Scheme stands terminated and is no longer in

existence, nothing further need be done in the matter.

Application(s) is/are accordingly, disposed of.
