They relate to a service matter. It is well settled by a series of decision of the Supreme Court that no such representative writ can be filed in service matter and instead the aggrieved individual alone can file the writ petition vide Gurpal Singh v. State of Punjab and others [2005 (3) L.L.N. 110], Ashok Kumar Pandey v. State of West Bengal [A.I.R. 2004 S.C. 1923], etc. Accordingly, writ appeals dismissed. It is open to the aggrieved individual to file a writ petition in connection with the matter referred to in this litigation. No costs. Connected C.M.P. No.8154 of 1998 is also dismissed. Appeal dismissed." 3. Furthermore, the writ petition was dismissed as against respondent no.3 vide order dated 17.06.2010 for not taking steps to file proof of compliance to the Court. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed as not maintainable. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
