CORAM : ANIL S. KILOR AND RAJ D. WAKODE, JJ. DATED : 23^rd January, 2026

¶11

Heard Shri Sourabh A. Chaudhari, learned counsel for the petitioners.

¶12

The petitioners have approached this Court seeking challenge to the impugned judgment dated 20/09/2024 passed by the learned Central Administrative Tribunal, Mumbai Bench, Mumbai in Original Application No.2151/2020.

¶13

By virtue of the aforesaid judgment, the learned Tribunal has directed the present petitioner-employer to pass appropriate order in accordance with law treating that the applicant (respondent herein) has completed 20 years of qualifying service on 25/08/2015 and thus was entitled for VRS and consequential benefits in accordance with law.

¶14

Shri Choudhari, learned counsel has invited our attention to the order dated 17/02/2014 passed by the Joint Director (Administration), NADT, Nagpur whereby the unauthorised absence of the petitioner from 03/10/2013 to 17/02/2014 was treated as “Dies Non”. Thus, there was a break in service of the petitioner. However, Shri Choudhari, learned counsel fairly admits that such order was not placed before the Tribunal when the impugned judgment was passed.

¶15

2 133-WP-672-26.odt

¶16

In view of above, Shri Choudhari seeks permission to withdraw the present petition to approach the Tribunal for filing review application pointing out the aforesaid order dated 17/02/2014.

¶17

Permission granted.

Writ petition is disposed of as withdrawn with liberty as prayed for. No costs.
