¶1Heard learned counsel for the parties.

¶2By means of this petition, petitioners have prayed following relief(s): "I. a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to pay gratuity, provident fund with interest in representations dated 05.12.2016 as well as 04.07.2023."

¶3Learned Advocate appearing for the respondent, Sri Saurabh Tiwari submits that petitioner is still in service and, therefore, cannot claim post retirement benefits like gratuity provident fund etc. The relief claimed is premature.

¶5In view of the above, I do not find any good ground to entertain this petition at this stage.
