….For the Petitioner
in both writ petitions
Mr. Momenur Rahman Ms. Rima Sarkar.
….For the State in
WPA 120 of 2025 Ms. Bedashruti Bose Ms. Rima Sarkar.

Mr. Debajit Kundu, learned Advocate appears for the petitioners in these writ petitions.
Ms. Rima Sarkar, learned State Advocate led by Mr. Momenur Rahman, learned State Advocate appears for the State in WPA 120 of 2025.
Ms. Bedashruti Bose, learned State Advocate and Ms. Rima Sarkar, learned State Advocate appear for the State in WPA 136 of 2025. While the writ petitions are being moved, learned State Advocate Ms. Rima Sarkar has rightly pointed out that the same writ petitioner has filed two different writ
2 petitions, viz. the instant writ petitions, WPA 120 of 2025 and WPA 136 of 2025, appearing today in today’s Cause List against the serial nos.18 and 24. Ms. Sen, learned State Advocate submits that, two separate writ petitions are not maintainable as the cause of action is the one being the retirement benefits though may be received under two two different Pension Payment Orders. After considering the submissions made on behalf of the parties, this Court is of the view that, cause of action in these writ petitions may be clubbed together and a composite writ petition can be filed by the petitioner. Accordingly, liberty is granted to the petitioner to file a single writ petition in accordance with law. With these observations these writ petitions, WPA 120 of 2025 and WPA 136 of 20125 stand dismissed without going into the merits of these writ petitions with leave, granted to the petitioner, as recorded above. Photocopy of this order be kept with the records of both the writ petitions.
