However, taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the present case, the petitioner who is no said to have retired on attaining the age of superannuation, he is permitted to file necessary representation to the competent authority seeking all service benefits if the same has not been settled and if such representation is filed, it is needless to state that the competent authority shall consider the same in accordance with law expeditiously. Writ petition is accordingly disposed of.” 3.

This Court had directed the complainant to file necessary representation to the competent authority seeking all service benefits and the respondent/authority was directed to consider the same and pass appropriate orders. 5. Learned counsel Sri. Mrutyunjaya Tata Bangi would submit that the complainant had submitted representation subsequent to the learned Single Judge’s order and on consideration of the said representation, endorsement at Annexure-R11, dated 25.11.2025 is issued rejecting the request of the petitioner. He submits that, since on consideration of the petitioner’s representation, the endorsement (Annexure-R1) dated 25.11.2024 is issued, the complainant be reserved with liberty to challenge the said endorsement and for other relief. 6. Learned AGA, on the other hand, would submit that the direction was only to consider the representation of the petitioner, which is considered and appropriate - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC-D:17374-DB CCC No. 100328 of 2024 endorsement is issued in terms of Annexure-R1, dated 25.11.2024. 7.
