Mr. Ankit Bisht, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Narayan Dutt, Standing Counsel for the State. 2. Petitioner was employed as Assistant Accountant in Rural Development Department. He retired from that post in 1999. In this writ petition, petitioner has sought the following relief: “Issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus restraining the respondents from recovering Rs. 4,43,138/- towards excess payment made to the petitioner due to wrong fixation of the pension from the monthly pension of the petitioner as is being made by the respondents without any prior notice/intimation to the petitioner, as is reflected from Pension Statement of the petitioner for the Financial Year 2025-26 and 2026- 27 (Annexure No. 6 to the writ petition, from page no. 50 page no. 51.)” 3. Learned State Counsel produced in Court written instructions received by him from Senior Treasury Officer, Uttarkashi. Based on said instruction, State Counsel submits that the amount recovered from pension of the petitioner has been refunded to him and the re-fixation of pension made by Government Treasury at Uttarkashi has now been withdrawn and the pension which petitioner was getting earlier, has been restored. Thus he submits that writ petition 2026:UHC:4442 has become infructuous. 4. Mr. Ankit Bisht, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner also makes similar statement. 5. In such view of the matter, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. (Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J.) 03.06.2026 Mahinder/
