By means of the present petition the petitioner has assailed the order dated 10/17.02.2026 passed by the Vice Chancellor, Acharya Narendra Dev University of Agriculture & Technology Kumarganj/opposite party No. 2, whereby the petitioner was declined for grant of revision of pension, gratuity and commutation of pension, in the light of the Government Order dated 18.10.2023. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner placed before this court a judgment passed by a Coordinate Bench of this court in Writ A No. 3981/2026 (Niranjan Singh & anr. v. State of U.P. & ors.) whereby this court has set aside the aforesaid Govenment Order dated 18.10.2023.

4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the opposite parties also did not dispute the aforesaid legal position in so far as it relates to the setting aside of the Government Order dated 18.10.2023. 5. In view of the fact that the basis of the impugned order is the Government Order dated 18.10.2023, which has now come to an end with the passing of the order dated 12.05.2026 passed in Writ A No. 3981 of 2026. 6. Since the basis of the impugned order, i.e., Government order dated 18.10.2023 itself has been set aside, therefore, it would be appropriate that the writ petition be disposed of at the admission stage itself with liberty to the petitioner to prefer a fresh comprehensive WRIA No. 4849 of 2026 2 application/representation before the Vice Chancellor, Acharya Narendra Dev University of Agriculture & Technology Kumarganj/opposite party No. 2, inter alia, raising all the pleas and grounds as available to him under law, more particularly, in the light of the subsequent developments. In case, the petitioner prefers the said application/representation within a period of 2 weeks from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order, the Vice Chancellor (opposite party No. 2) shall consider the same and pass appropriate order on the same within a maximum period of six weeks from the date of receipt of the said representation. 7. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with the aforesaid observations/directions. (Syed Qamar Hasan Rizvi,J.) June 2, 2026 A.Nigam
