Petitioner has approached this Court for a direction upon the respondents to releasing the salary of the petitioner along with retiral and other consequential benefits including provident fund amount, gratuity, earn leave etc. 2. From the prayer made by the petitioner it is clear that the petitioner has prayed for retiral benefits. During the course of the argument, learned counsel for the petitioner very fairly admits that the petitioner has been dismissed from service. He also admits that the dismissal order is not under challenge in this writ petitioner nor he has filed any other writ petition, which is pending, in which the dismissal order of the petitioner has been challenged. 3. Since the petitioner has been dismissed from service, he is not entitled for the retiral benefits and respondents can only pay his contribution towards provident fund until and unless by a proper order the dismissal order is not set aside. The petitioner cannot be 2 granted relief which he is claiming in this writ petition i.e., payment of gratuity, pension etc. etc. 4. Accordingly, this writ petition is dismissed with a liberty reserved with the petitioner to approach the Court, if his dismissal order is set aside. (ANANDA SEN, J.) Aditi
