Court No. - 34
Case :- WRIT - A No. - 35217 of 2002 Petitioner :- Umesh Dutta Pandey Respondent :- Finance Secretary Ministry Of Finance Government And Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Anand Prakash Pandey Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C.,V.K. Srivastava
Hon'ble Sudhir Agarwal,J.
1. Called in revise. None appeared to press this writ petition. Learned Standing Counsel is present for respondents. In the circumstances, I myself have perused the record.
2. By means of present writ petition, petitioner has sought following reliefs:
“a) issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to reckon/calculate the petitioner's pension on the basis of increased pay scale with effect from 1.1.1996.
b) A writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to provide all the benefits of increased pay scale with effect from 1.1.1996 and reckon/calculate the pension accordingly and pay regularly month to month.”
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 the 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.
