¶21

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner; State and K. S. D. Sanskrit University (hereinafter referred to as the ‘University’).

¶22

The petitioner has moved the Court for the following

¶23

reliefs:

¶24

“(i) For issuance of an appropriate writ/order, orders/direction, directions in the nature of Mandamus, directing Respondents to pay all retiral benefits under different heads as well as arrears of the salary with interest as admissible and pension benefits on regular mode as well as to give all promotional benefits according to law to the petitioner.

¶25

(ii) For any other relief(s) for which the petitioner is found entitled in the eye of law as well as on the facts and circumstances of the instant case as elaborated and stated hereinafter in the larger interest of justice.”

¶26

During the pendency of the writ petition, the State Government has passed a formal order by which the regularization of the service of the petitioner, along with 66 others, has been rejected. Thus, as per the stand of the State and the University, the retiral benefits cannot be paid as the regularization of the service of the petitioner itself has been rejected by order dated 23.09.2018.

¶27

In view of the position aforesaid, as prayed for by learned counsel for the petitioner, the writ petition stands disposed off

¶28
