JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 12208 OF 2005 C -------------------------------------- Dated this the 1st February, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner who retired on 31.5.2002 as District Registrar, has approached this Court, challenging Exts.P5 and P6. By Ext.P5, the Accountant General revised the pension and DA of the petitioner. It is stated therein that the monthly pension of the petitioner after commutation is reduced to Rs.2,520/=. It is seen from Ext.P6 that his pension was revised to Rs.3,788/= and after reducing the commuted value, he is entitled to receive only Rs.2,526/= per month. By Ext.P1 it was stated that the reduced pension is Rs.2,537/=. Thus, there is a reduction of Rs.11/= from the original date of sanction (Ext.P1). There is no reason forthcoming from the Counter Affidavit about the reduction of monthly pension as granted in Ext.P6. In such circumstances, the matter should receive the attention of the Authority. Accordingly, if the petitioner prefers a representation to the third respondent within a period of three weeks from the date of WPC. 12208/05 C 2 receipt of a copy of this Judgment, the third respondent will consider the same and take a decision thereon in accordance with law and communicate the same to the petitioner within six weeks from the date of receipt of the representation. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk.
