to decide and dispose of the petitioner, having submitted

From the prayer itself it is quite clear that the petitioner wants modification and amendment of the scheme which has been framed by the employer.

Admittedly the particular scheme has been framed by the employer. The petitioner wants some modification/amendment in the scheme to suit the petitioner.

The Court exercising jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution cannot give direction to modify/amend any scheme. If a particular scheme is ultra-vires, the Court can interfere with it. The petitioner is not in a position to show as to how the scheme is 2 ultra-vires.

Thus, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition, the same is dismissed.

The petitioner is directed to approach the Management.
