ORDER

This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

2. Heard Mr. S. Mohanty, learned counsel for the petitioner.

3. The petitioner has filed this writ petition with a prayer to apply Odisha Development Authority (Retirement benefit of the employees) Rules, 2015 under Annexure-4 in his case prospectively and quash the order of stoppage of pension under Annexure-5.

4. As it appears, Annexure-5 is a letter dated 21.09.2015 issued by the Cuttack Development Authority to the petitioner with regard to introduction of E.P.F. Pension Scheme. Therefore, the relief sought for by the petitioner is totally different and as such, it is the communication of the year 2015. The petitioner has not filed any document indicating why he has approached this Court after lapse of six years.

5. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner stated

that the petitioner may be permitted to withdraw the writ petition with liberty to file a better writ petition with better particulars.

6. In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of as withdrawn granting liberty as aforesaid.
