UNNI KRISHNAN NAIR ORDER 13/11/2025 Mr. A Bhattacharya, learned counsel for the petitioner, after attempting to argue the matter at some length, on a query being made by this Court, submits that the period of service rendered under Regulation 3(F) of the Assam Public Service Commission (Limitation of Functions) Regulation, 1951 cannot be reckoned for the purpose of assigning seniority to such appointee after his services are regularized. He submits that the period of service rendered under Regulation 3(F) of the said 1951 Regulation is required to be excluded. In view of the above position, Mr. A Bhattacharya, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner’s service under Regulation 3(F), being not permissible to be reckoned for fixation of the seniority and further, the petitioner having also retired from his service, he would not press the present writ petition any further. Accordingly, he prays that he be permitted to withdraw the writ petition. Prayer accepted. Mr. N Upadhyay, learned Standing counsel, Irrigation Department has no objection to the prayer made by the learned counsel for the petitioner. Accordingly, the present writ petition stands dismissed on withdrawal. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
