Order
(2 of 4) [WRW-218/2023] 10/10/2025
1. Counsel for the applicant submits that he is not pressing counter to the additional affidavit.
2. The instant review petition has been preferred for modification of the order dated 18.09.2023 passed by this Court, while deciding S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.8880/2015, submitted by the petitioner.
3.
Learned counsel for the review-petitioner submits that by way of filing the aforesaid petition, a prayer was made for issuing directions to the respondents to reinstate the petitioner back in service and make the payment of full salary till his retirement along with consequential benefits and retiral dues, as per law. Counsel submits that though the petitioner was reinstated back in service, however, all the consequential benefits including counting of past services, rendered by him in other department for the purpose of pension/gratuity and other terminal benefits were not given. Counsel further submits that the interest on delayed payment of gratuity, as per circular dated 09.07.2009 has not been granted. He further submits that though he has opted for pension scheme, but the same was not considered by the respondents.
4. In the considered opinion of this Court whatever has been sought for in this review petition, has not been prayed in the original writ petition. The prayer was confined in the writ petition to issue the direction of reinstatement and payment of retiral dues.
(3 of 4) [WRW-218/2023]
5.
Learned counsel submits that though the petitioner was reinstated back in service, but the aforesaid benefits were not extended to him, hence, the order passed by this Court is liable to be modified.
6. Per contra, counsels appearing on behalf of the respondent opposed the arguments raised by counsel for the petitioner and submitted that the relief sought for in the aforesaid petition was granted and not only the services of the petitioner were reinstated but also the retiral benefits were released in favour of the petitioner. Counsels submitted that considering all these facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition was rendered as infructuous, as no cause of action survives with the petitioner to continue with the petition.
7. Heard and considered the submissions made at Bar and perused the material available on the record.
8. So far as the prayer made in the original writ petition is concerned, the services of the petitioner were reinstated and he was granted due retiral benefits. If at all, the petitioner is aggrieved with regard to the other grievances, which are narrated now in the review petition or by way of a rejoinder to the original writ petition, in the considered opinion of this Court, the aforesaid grievances cannot be entertained by this Court being beyond the scope of prayer, made in the original petition.
9. However, it is made clear that in case, the petitioner feels aggrieved on account of not granting of other benefits,
(4 of 4) [WRW-218/2023] he is entitled to approach appropriate forum of law for redressal for his grievances.
10. With the aforesaid observations/directions, the instant review petition stands disposed of. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed of.
