S. SAIKIA,MS. N BORAH Advocate for the Respondent : SC, HIGHER EDU, SC, AG BEFORE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR MEDHI ORDER 04-06-2025 Heard Shri S. Khound, learned counsel for the petitioner. It is the case of the petitioner that she was the senior most Senior Assistant of the Handique Girls College, Guwahati and was holding the charge of Head Assistant. The petitioner had superannuated on 31.05.2025 and the present case is with a claim of giving her the service benefits of the Head Assistant and in this regard Rule 114 of the Assam Services Pension Rules 1969 has been referred to. In the prayer portion however, there is another aspect regarding a claim for retrospective promotion. Also heard Shri D. Upamanyu, learned Standing Counsel of the Department. However, what intrigues this Court is that this writ petition was filed on 30.05.2025 for a cause of action which might have arisen on 31.05.2025. It Page No.# 3/3 appears from the petition that on 29.05.2025, a representation was submitted by the petitioner to the Director of Higher Education and immediately on the next date, i.e. 30.05.2025, the instant petition has been filed. Such attitude on the part of the petitioner to rush to the Court even without giving the authorities a scope for redressal of grievance if any, is highly deprecated as it leads to unnecessarily increasing the pendency of Court cases. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed with a cost of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) only which is to be deposited in the name of Gauhati High Court Bar Association Welfare Fund. Liberty is however given to approach the Court at an appropriate time, if the grievances are not redressed in the hands of the authorities. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
