Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:80360 Court No. - 5 Case :- WRIT - A No. - 6228 of 2025 Petitioner :- Rajesh Babu Saxena Respondent :- State Of Uttar Pradesh And 4 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Ashutosh Counsel for Respondent :- C.S.C. Hon'ble Ajay Bhanot,J. The petitioner claims that he is entitled to annual increment from the year 2021 and other consequences service benefits. He has made a representation in this regard but to no avail. The only prayer made by Shri Ashutosh, learned counsel for the petitioner is that the representation of the petitioner may be decided within a stipulated period of time. Shri Abhay Nitin Singh, learned counsel for the respondent nos. 3 and 5 submits that the matter requires determination of facts by the competent authority in light of applicable provisions of law in the first instance. However, he fairly contends that service benefit/claim is liable to be decided by the competent authority in a reasonable time frame. In wake of the submissions made at the Bar and without going into the merits of the case, the respondent no. 5 is directed to decide the representation of the petitioner for grant of annual increment from the year 2021 and other consequences benefits in accordance with law within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order along with a fresh copy of the representation. The petitioner has not been able to give satisfactory explanation for the delay in approaching this Court. Hence in these facts of the case the petitioner shall not be entitled to any interest. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition is finally disposed of. Order Date :- 15.5.2025 Dhananjai Digitally signed by :- DHANANJAI High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
