No. 5 : Mr. Bharat Sharma, Advocate RAHUL JHA Digitally signed by RAHUL JHA Date: 2026.06.25 10:28:52 +0530 2 Hon'ble Shri Justice Bibhu Datta Guru Order on Board 24/06/2026 1. At the outset, learned counsel appearing for respondent No. 5, on instructions, submits that the petitioner has already challenged the order cancelling his regularization by filing WPS No. 9055/2019, wherein this Court has granted interim protection by staying the operation of the impugned order. It is further submitted that the claim raised in the present writ petition seeking retiral benefits is intrinsically connected with the subject matter involved in the aforesaid pending writ petition. Therefore, instead of instituting a separate writ petition, the petitioner ought to have sought appropriate relief by moving an application in WPS No. 9055/2019 itself. As such, the present writ petition is not maintainable. 2. Faced with the aforesaid objection, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission of this Court to withdraw the present writ petition with liberty to avail such remedy as may be available to him in accordance with law. 3. Prayer is allowed. 4. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty as aforesaid. Sd/- (Bibhu Datta Guru) Judge Rahul
