In view of the same, no useful purpose will be served in going into the merits of the present case, since the petitioner is left with service only for a couple of days.

3. This Writ Petition is disposed of with a direction to the petitioner to make a representation to the respondent Bank and seek for his terminal benefits and the respondent Bank shall act upon the same, in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed. No costs.
