He was thereafter given regular appointment as Secretary w.e.f. 29.9.2016 and he completed age of superannuation i.e. 60 years in the month of May, 2025.

To issue a writ rule or direction in the nature of certiorarified mandamus to declare the action of the respondent by not paying the gratuity from initial appointment to the date of regularisation is irrational arbitrary and contrary to law and to command the respondent to pay the entire amount of gratuity, leave encashment, balance fund, medical dues, ACP, arrears of salary with effect from the initial appointment i.e. on dated 09.05.2009 with 18% interest thereon after calling the entire records from the respondent or to mould the relief appropriately by safeguarding the interest of the petitioner keeping in view the fact highlighted in the body of petition. or to pass any such other further order or direction which this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper under the present facts and circumstances of the case, otherwise the Applicant/Petitioner shall suffer irreparable loss and injury.” 2025:UHC:4269-DB (3) Mr. D.S.
