Petitioner was seeking house rent allowance for a period of his posting between 09. 02. 2016 and 16. 09. 2019 in North Kashmir. The communication declining his claim was issued on 20. 07. 2021 while he was not posted within the territory of Tripura. Therefore, after some arguments, Mr.
Somik Deb, learned senior counsel for the petitioner, seeks permission to withdraw the present writ petition with a liberty to move the appropriate forum having jurisdiction to entertain the cause. 3. With the aforesaid liberty, the instant writ petition is dismissed as withdrawn. (APARESH KUMAR SINGH), CJ Pijush/ Digitally signed by MUNNA SAHA MUNNA SAHADate: 2024. 07. 30 14:43:49 +05'30'
