Heard Sri Deepak Bhattacharjee, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. This writ petition has been instituted seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in not accepting the resignation from service offered by the petitioner with effect from 20.8.1997, as illegal. 2. The writ petitioner, at the relevant point of time, was working as a Clerk with the Canara Bank, a public sector undertaking. He has availed, while in service, House Building Advance from the bank and he has not liquidated the liability completely in accordance with the terms of such a grant. In those set of circumstances, the claim of the writ petitioner to bring about an end to his relationship with his employer has not been acceded to. 3. The learned Standing counsel for the respondent-Bank Sri Deepak Battacharjee submits that the writ petitioner has submitted a representation on 15.4.2002 authorizing the bank to adjust the outstanding liability of the bank dues from the terminal benefits, which he is otherwise entitled to be paid. 4. In view of his representation dated 15.4.2002, the contentious issue as to whether the liability of the petitioner on the House Building Advance or any other dues to the Bank would come in the way of accepting his resignation no longer remains to be the bone of contention. Therefore, the bank has since accepted his resignation subject to the condition that the outstanding dues of the bank be adjusted from out of the terminal benefits payable to the petitioner. 5. Therefore, he submits that the cause in this writ petition does not survive for further adjudication. I accept the plea raised in this regard. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. ________________________________ NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J 25-01-2008 RAR THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO Writ Petition No. 5978 of 1999 (DATED : 25-01-2008)
