(2) Petitioner retired from the post of Health Inspector from Medical Department on 30.6.2022.

Prema Badola was given two increments while granting 2nd ACP, but petitioner was denied similar benefit. Learned Counsel for the petitioner further submits that pension, gratuity and commutation have not been sanctioned to petitioner. (4) Learned State Counsel submits that the amount payable as GPF has been released 2026:UHC:3356 to petitioner on 1.8.2022; amount payable as leave encashment has been paid to her on 26.5.2023 and the release of the amount of group insurance is in progress. He submits that pension could not be sanctioned to petitioner because of her objection regarding her pay fixation, as she was claiming parity with Smt. Prema Badola. (5) Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court thinks that ends of justice would be met if petitioner is permitted to make representation to the competent authority, highlighting her grievance. Writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of by permitting the petitioner to make fresh representation to Director General, Medical, Health and Family Welfare. If she makes representation within two weeks from today, decision thereupon shall be taken, as per law, within four months thereafter. It shall be open to Director General to hear all stakeholders, including Smt. Prema Badola, before taking any decision in the matter.
