LPA 495/2021 and CM APPL. 46619-20/2021 2.

This appeal is directed against the order dated 21.10.2021, passed by the learned single judge in CM No. 36626/2021, preferred in W.P.(C) No.950/2020.

2.1.

The appellant, who appears in-person, says that the relief sought in the aforementioned application was for payment of interim pension. 2.2.

Via the impugned order, the learned single judge has dismissed the appellant's interim application, based on the following rationale: LPA 495/2021 Page 1 of 2

"As I have listed the petition for hearing on December 7, 2021, this application seeking interim direction at this stage is impermissible.

The application is dismissed."

3.

We are told that the writ petition is listed for hearing on 02.02.2022, along with five other writ petitions.

4.

According to us, no interference is called for with the order dated 21.10.2021 passed by the learned single judge. 5.

The appeal is, accordingly, closed.

6.

Insofar as the prayer made in CM No. 46620/2021 to grant exemption from filing attested affidavit is concerned, the applicant/appellant is directed to file duly attested affidavit within the next three weeks, notwithstanding the order passed by us today.

7.

Consequently, pending applications shall also stand closed. (RAJIV SHAKDHER) JUDGE (TALWANT SINGH) JUDGE DECEMBER 22, 2021 tr Click here to check corrigendum, if any LPA 495/2021 Page 2 of 2
