CWP No. 4036 of 2023 He accepts notice on behalf of the respondents. Admittedly, the petitioner retired on 30.4.2011. However, in the present writ petition he wants to unsettle and claim all the financial benefits granted to him even prior to the date when ACP Scheme was promulgated on 1.1.1996 and claims that the ACP increments became permissible to him w.e.f. 11.1.1987. Thus, by way of present writ petition the petitioner wants to claim benefits alleging that the same are admissible to him even prior to promulgation of the scheme. Apart from that he wants to unsettle the decisions taken more than 20/25 years back.

This Court does not find it to be a fit case to grant any benefit to the petitioner while exercising jurisdiction under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India that too after more than 12 years for the petitioner having retired. Resultantly, no ground is made out to interfere in the present writ petition. The same is accordingly dismissed.
