Allahabad High Court
RAJNEESH KUMARversusSTATE OF U.P. AND 5 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The petition was dismissed for lack of any legal provision granting the petitioner entitlement to his father's retirement dues.
Summary
Petitioner Rajneesh Kumar, a 34‑year‑old, filed a writ petition seeking the retirement dues of his deceased father from the State of Uttar Pradesh and other respondents. The petitioner’s counsel was unable to cite any statutory provision that would entitle him to such dues. The court noted the absence of a legal basis for the claim. In the interest of justice, the court disposed of the petition, indicating that if the petitioner can later produce a relevant legal provision, the claim may be reconsidered. No relief was granted at this stage.
