Heard the parties. 2. The prayer of the petitioner is absolutely vague. The petitioner wants that his service-related grievances should be redressed. On query, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioner has not got his entire post-retiral benefits. 3. From the records, I find that the petitioner was transferred during his service tenure but did not join the transfer post and ultimately superannuated. Thus, the status of the period, which the petitioner did not join, also needs to be considered by the respondents. 4. Thus, at this stage, it will not be proper to pass any 2026:JHHC:3714 2 order rather I direct the petitioners to file a fresh representation within four weeks before the Chief Engineer, Water Resources Department-respondent No.4. On receipt of the same, he will consider the grievance of the petitioner and will pass an appropriate order as per law within six weeks and if it is necessary to place the case before any committee or any authority, the same should be placed during the said period. 5. If it is found that the petitioner is entitled for any benefits, the same will be granted to him within four weeks thereafter. 6. If any part of the claim of the petitioner is rejected, the reasons should be communicated to the petitioner within the aforesaid period. 7. With the aforesaid observations, this writ petition stands disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 11.02.2026 S.K.D.Cp-2 Uploaded on 12.02.2026
