O R D E R

The relief sought for in the present writ petition is to direct the first respondent to take action against the 2nd respondent stopping her retirement benefits and other benefits.

2. Admittedly, the writ petitioner is a third person and unconnected with the services of the 2nd respondent with the first respondent department. The present writ petitioner is filed on account of certain private disputes between the writ petitioner and the 2nd respondent. In respect of such disputes, the writ petitioner has to approach the proper forum for the purpose of redressing his grievances. Contrarily, the writ https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

petitioner cannot interfere with the service conditions of the 2nd respondent, as the 2nd respondent is entitled to get all her service benefits as per the service Rules in force.

3. This being the factum, this Court is of an undoubted opinion that, the writ petitioner cannot maintain the writ petition as the service benefits of the 2nd respondent is no way connected with the private disputes between the writ petitioner and the 2nd respondent. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed as not maintainable. No Costs.
