4. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the documents attached with this petition.
5. This Court is not executing Court for implementing the order of Chief Minister or other Executive bodies and this Court cannot pass any direction for payment of such amount, which will become precedent in future for such-like directions to be issued by the political personalities when they are in power to support their party men by ignoring the similarly placed person.
