Since the writ petitions do not give out any effective pleadings or documents towards entitlement of the petitioners to the Grade Pay of Rs.3600/-, learned counsel for the petitioners seeks permission to withdraw the writ petitions with liberty to file afresh after incorporating necessary pleadings alongwith relevant documents, in accordance with law. Granting such permission, the present writ petitions are dismissed as withdrawn. Pending miscellaneous application(s), if any, also stand disposed of. Jyotsna Rewal Dua September 22, 2026 Judge Mukesh
