Case Note & Summary
The case involved writ appeals filed by the appellant challenging the orders passed in three writ petitions concerning his service records from the Indian Maritime University. The appellant sought a writ of mandamus directing the university to send his updated Service Book, Leave Records, and Last Pay Certificate (LPC) to the Chief Labour Commissioner. The Writ Court had previously directed the university to respond to the appellant's request, which they did by issuing a reply on 28.12.2023. The first respondent's counsel argued that the appellant was a temporary employee who had resigned and all dues were settled, and he is currently employed with the Ministry of Labour and Employment. The court noted that the service particulars had already been communicated to the appellant, and therefore, no further consideration was warranted regarding the issues raised in the writ appeals. Consequently, the court dismissed the writ appeals and closed the connected miscellaneous petitions, stating that the appellant was not entitled to any further directions as the university had complied with the court's orders. The judgment was delivered on 18-09-2026.
