It is seen from the record that the petitioner has continued his case for claiming only monitory benefits. But there is no proof of application is placed on record. In view of above and having heard the learned counsel appearing for the parities, this Court is of the opinion that the present petition devoid of any merits and needs to be dismissed giving liberty to the petitioner to approach before the concerned respondents and also to file appropriate application seeking reliefs.

In view of above observation, the present petition stands dismissed. As a sequel, miscellaneous application, pending if any, shall stand closed. T. AMARNATH GOUD, J
