It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that subsequent to the filing of this writ petition, the authorities have allowed the petitioner to join service and the petitioner has been discharging his normal duty. However, the authorities have not released the monthly pay and allowances of the petitioner for a period from 01.03.2025 till today. The learned senior counsel, accordingly, prays for closing this writ petition by issuing a simple direction to the respondents to release the monthly pay and allowances of the petitioner as the petitioner has been reinstated w.e.f. 01.03.2025 and as the petitioner has already joined his service and discharging his duties. LAIRENM AYUM INDRAJE ET SINGH Digitally signed by LAIRENMAYUM INDRAJEET SINGH Date: 2025.07.22 17:32:55 +05'30' 2 Mr. Shyam Sharma, learned G.A. appearing for the respondents, seeks some time to verify the submission of the learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioner. Since the learned senior counsel appearing for the petitioner has submitted that the authorities have allowed the petitioner to join his service and to resume his normal duties, this Court is of the considered view that no cause survives for adjudication in this writ petition. It is, however, made clear that the respondents, more particularly respondent No. 4, i.e., Commandant, 5th Bn. Manipur Rifles, Khongjaron, Tamenglong, shall consider the claim of the petitioner for payment of his monthly pay & allowances w.e.f. 01.03.2025 and take up appropriate action in terms of the applicable rules. Such consideration should be made within a period of 1(one) month from today. With the aforesaid direction, the present writ petition is disposed of. JUDGE Indrajeet
