1. Prayer in this writ petition filed under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India, is for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus, directing the respondents to accept the premature retirement notice given by the petitioner on 23^rd April, 2024 and has been kept pending despite clearance of all dues and thereafter because petitioner was suffering from a back ailment and he could not attend office and provided medical certificates, he is being treated as absent and disciplinary proceedings have been initiated for absent from duty when his premature retirement notice is pending acceptance and despite his medical condition the impugned proceedings are have been initiated making them clearly arbitrary and needs to be quashed and therefore pray for quashing the impugned letter/
