O R D E R

The grievance of the petitioner in this Writ Petition is that even after the completion of the 15 year period, the commutation amount of Rs.890/- is being deducted from the petitioner. 2.Learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent University has placed on record the commutation deductions made 2/5

by the respondent University from the date of the petitioner's retirement. As seen from the same, the respondent University has stopped deduction of the commutation amount from the month of November 2015. Since it has been established by the respondent University before this Court that they have stopped deducting the commutation amount from November 2015 onwards, the grievance of the petitioner has been redressed and the prayer sought for in this Writ Petition has been achieved.

3.After recording the statement made by the respondents that the respondent University has stopped deducting the commutation amount from November 2015 onwards and they have not recovered any excess amount from the petitioner, this Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, the connected miscellaneous petition is closed. 14.10.2025 Index :Yes / No Internet : Yes / No NCC : Yes/No MR 3/5
