On that day, the learned SPC submitted that reliefs had already been granted and pension had been sanctioned. The applicant was called upon to confirm it. The matter was adjourned since there was no representation for the applicant on that day Thereafter, it came up on the next posting date namely 28.11.2025 on which day also, there was no representation for the applicant. Accordingly, after noting the presence of the learned SPC, the O.A was dismissed for default. In the application for restoration of the O.A, the affidavit is sworn to by the learned Counsel herself.
