Exhibit P3 is dated 07.05.2009. It is pointed out that in spite of the same, no action is being taken in the matter. The petitioner had earlier moved the 2nd respondent by filing Exhibit P4 representation. There will be a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the request made by the petitioner in Exhibit P4 and see that eligible benefits are sanctioned without further delay. Appropriate action will be finalized within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment along with copy of the writ petition for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above. T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR JUDGE smp
