Madras High Court; WP No. 24748 of 2014; M.P.No.1 of 2014; K.Ambapathi vs Government of Tamil Nadu (Education Department) and others; Justice K. Surender; decided 10-11-2025; writ petition dismissed for non-prosecution; no representation for petitioner; case posted under caption “for dismissal”; cause list; Article 226 of Constitution of India; Writ of Certiorarified Mandamus; quashing of O.Mu.No. 65881/A4/E3/2012 dated 06.06.2013 issued by Joint Director of School Education (Personnel); promotion as Assistant from 02.09.1996 when junior promoted; arrears of pay; revised pension proposal to Accountant General; no costs; connected miscellaneous petition closed; no merits adjudicated.
What did the court decide?
Since there was no representation for the petitioner when the case was posted under the caption “for dismissal” (and none on the earlier listing of 16.10.2025), the Writ Petition is dismissed for non-prosecution, with no costs, and the connected miscellaneous petition (M.P.No.1 of 2014) is closed. The merits of the promotion and pension claim were not adjudicated.
