Mr. Krishna Dayama, Senior Panel Counsel for UOI-petitioner (Through VC).

***** HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI , J. (Oral) 1.

The challenge in the present petition is to the impugned order dated 04.07.2024 (Annexure P-1), by which the learned Tribunal has wrongly allowed the claim of the respondent for grant of service element by condoning the shortfall in service. 2.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the issue raised in the present petition has already been decided by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in Union of India & Ors. Vs. Balakrishnan Mullikote 2026 INSC 286, wherein, the short-fall of service which the respondent has, is covered for the grant of relief, hence, present petition may kindly be disposed of having been not pressed any further in view of the said decision.

3.

Ordered accordingly.
