4. The petitioner was appointed as a Driver in the respondent Corporation on 10.05.1996. As per the 15 th Wage Settlement, the marriage advance for employees' son or daughter was increased from Rs.50,000/- to Rs. 1,00,000/-. The petitioner's daughter's marriage was solemnized on 27.06.2025. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite submitting a representation dated 05.06.2025 to the respondents, requesting disbursement of the marriage advance of Rs.1,00,000/- no action was taken on his representation. Aggrieved by the same, the petitioner has filed the present Writ Petition before this Court.
