***** SANJEEV PRAKASH SHARMA , J (ORAL) 1.

This is a civil writ petition filed under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India for issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari for quashing the order dated 13.12.2021 (Annexure P-8), whereby the claim of the petitioner has been rejected.

2.

The petitioner approaches this Court for counting service rendered by him in a private institution from 16.11.1969 to 24.03.1977. Thereafter, she joined Government service on 29.11.1990. This Court allowed the petitioner to make a representation to the authorities for passing a speaking order and speaking order has been passed on 13.12.2021, wherein, the authorities have noticed that there is a gap of 13 years, 8 months and 4 days in joining Government service from the period of service rendered with the private institution and, therefore, the claim for counting the said service for pensionary benefits, has been denied.
