Apart from this, a Division Bench of this Court in the case of Smt. Sona Sahu v.

He further submits that at present this petition may be 3 disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to make a representation to the competent authority/respondents in light of judgment passed by this Court in W.A. No.261 of 2023 dated 28/02/2024. 4. Learned State counsel opposes the submission made by learned counsel for the petitioners. 5. Be that as it may, looking to the limited prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioners, the instant petition, at this stage, is disposed of permitting the petitioners to make a representation raising all grounds as raised in the instant writ petition to the competent authority/respondents annexing all relevant documents and a copy of the judgment of this Court passed in W.A. No.261 of 2023. On such representation being made, it is expected that the competent authority/respondents shall consider and decide the same in accordance with law considering the circular(s) issued in this regard, in light of the judgment of this Court in W.A. No.261 of 2023 within a period of four months from the date of submission of the representation. 6. It is made clear that this Court has not expressed any opinion on merits of the case. It is for the competent authority/respondents to consider and decide the claim of the petitioners on merits of their case. 7. With the aforesaid observations and directions, the writ petition is disposed of. Sd/- (Amitendra Kishore Prasad) JUDGE Gopal Singh
