ORDER
Date : 20.07.2026 Heard Ms. F. Intaz, learned counsel appearing for the applicant. Also heard Mr. A. K. Ghosh, learned counsel appearing for the respondent Nos. 1, 5 and 8, Ms. K. Phukan, learned Government Advocate appearing for the respondent No. 2, Mr. M. P. Sarma, learned counsel appearing on behalf of Mr. B. Sarma, learned counsel appearing for respondent No. 3, Mr. A. Chaliha, Standing learned counsel, Finance Department, appearing for the respondent Nos. 4 & 9, and Mr. R. Islam, learned counsel appearing for the respondent No. 11. By way of this application, the applicant seeks withdrawal of the connected writ petition, i.e. WP(C) No. 3181/2022 with liberty to institute a fresh writ petition in the event the respondents fail to extend the pensionary benefits claimed by the writ petitioner. The learned counsels appearing for the respondents do not oppose the prayer made in the application. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties and upon perusal of the materials available on record, this Court finds no impediment in allowing the prayer. Accordingly, the interlocutory application stands allowed. Consequently, the connected writ petition, being WP(C) No. 3181/2022, stands dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to institute a fresh writ petition, if so advised, in the event the respondents fail to extend the pensionary benefits to the writ petitioner.
