(ii) Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of Mandamus commanding the respondents to make payment of salary to the petitioner in the pay-scale of Rs.6500-10500 in which the petitioner was earlier appointed and received salary throughout." 2. Subsequently vide order dated 09.05.2018 the present writ petition has been dismissed for want of prosecution. 3. In view of the same the interim order dated 04.12.2013 granted to the petitioner stood vacated. Consequent to the same the fifth- respondent has passed an order dated 26.05.2018 restraining the petitioner from performing his services. The petitioner has filed a recall application dated 29.05.2018. The said application was allowed and the writ petition was restored, but the petitioner has not challenged the order passed by the fifth- respondent dated 26.05.2018. Now by way of an amendment the petitioner has filed amendment application on 29.05.2024 after lapse of almost six years. 4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of fifth-respondent has taken an objection with regard to the amendment to the present writ petition as order passed by the fifth- respondent on 26.05.2018, is a fresh cause of action. Hence, the petitioner has to challenge the same by way of a separate writ petition. 5. Considering the submissions, the amendment application filed is rejected. It is needless to say that, it is left open to the petitioner to challenge the order passed by the fifth- respondent by way of fresh proceedings. 6. In view of the same, the present writ petition is also consigned to records. Order Date :- 16.7.2025 AdityaG (Donadi Ramesh,J.)
