Decided

Holding

The writ petition is disposed of, with the court directing the petitioner to file a fresh representation within three months for the grievance to be considered.

Summary

The petitioner, Arun Kumar Tripathi, filed a writ petition before the Allahabad High Court seeking payment of arrears of salary from the State of Uttar Pradesh and other respondents. The petitioner alleged that his salary dues remained unpaid and approached the court for relief. The court examined the petition and observed that the grievance could be addressed by the concerned respondent if the petitioner filed a fresh representation containing all relevant facts and documents.
