[CW-356/2023]

¶22

“Learned counsel for the petitioners, however, submitted that the issue is arising in large number of cases and in several departments, the Government has accepted the stand and granted the benefits. If the petitioners are not granted similar benefits, it would amount to discriminatory treatment. Whatever be the grievance of the petitioners they can be resolved at the level of the administration or by the Court through bipartite hearing.

¶23

In view of the peculiar circumstances, these appeals are disposed of by permitting the Government to take into account the representations already made or to be filed by any of the petitioners within one month. In the process, the authorities will bear in mind the stand taken by the department in similar cases. Such representations would be decided in accordance with law unmindful of the observations and directions issued by the learned Single Judge in the impugned orders. Eventually, if the grievances of the petitioner still survive after the Government decision, it is open for the petitioners to seeks redressal thereafter in accordance with law.”

¶24

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the present writ petition of the petitioners may also be disposed of in light of the abovementioned judgment.

¶25

In view of the submissions made, the present writ petition is disposed of with the same directions as issued by the Division Bench of this Court in the case of Narendra Kumar Boolchandani (supra).
