In this regard, the petitioner submitted a representation dated 06.10.2025 before the respondent/CEO, however, neither the said representation has been considered nor the retiral dues have been released till date. Hence, the petitioner seeks a direction to the respondents to consider the representation and release the admissible retiral dues. 3 3.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents appended with the writ petition. 5.
