Court No. - 34
Case :- WRIT - A No. - 24812 of 2000 Petitioner :- Krishna Kumar Srivastava Respondent :- Principal Secretary Public Works Department & Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Anil Kumar Srivastava Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.
Hon'ble Sudhir Agarwal,J.
1. Called in revise. None appeared on behalf of petitioner to press this writ petition. Learned Standing Counsel is present for respondents.
2. By means of the present writ petition, petitioner has sought following reliefs:
"i. to issue a writ, order or direction directing the respondents to extend the benefit of increased dearness allowance and other allowances etc. to the petitioner irrespective of the ceiling limit prescribed by the respondent for the Group 'B' employees in the corporation.
ii. to issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of certiorari calling the records of the case and to declare the Government Order dt. 31.11.89 and 13.9.93 (Annexure 3 and 4) to be void, in so far they imposed the outer ceiling limit upon the salaries of the employees resulting in deduction of the increased allowances.
iii. to issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the resondents to pay the same salary and other benefits to the petitioner as is being given to regularly appointed store Munshi in group 'B' in the corporation.
iv. to issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to regularise the services of the petitioner on the post of store munshi as he had put about 19 years of service under the respondent continuously."
3. I myself have gone through the pleadings, grounds as also reliefs sought and find that petitioner is not able to make out a case so as to justify interference of this Court by granting reliefs, as prayed for.
4. Moreover, it appears that either the cause of action no more survives or that petitioner has lost interest in this matter or it has otherwise become infructuous and, probably for this reason, none is interested to have decided this matter on merits and that is why, counsel for petitioner is absent.
5. Dismissed. Interim order, if any, stands vacated.
