THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO.18690 OF 2007 DATED: 03-09-2007 Between: P. Krishnamurthy .. Petitioner and The A.P. Cooperative Society rep. by the Registrar, Hyderabad and others. .. Respondents THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE C.V. RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO.18690 OF 2007 ORDER: The only grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition appears to be that after his retirement on attaining the age of superannuation on 31.05.2006, the respondents have not paid the gratuity as per Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. In this regard, the petitioner made a claim on 17.07.2006 before the 2nd respondent in the prescribed Form I under Rule 7 of the Payment of Gratuity Rules, 1972. Since no action has been taken thereon, he sent reminders on 11.12.2006 and 17.04.2007, but in vain. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on merits, the 2nd respondent is directed to dispose of the claim, dated 17.07.2006, purported to have been made by the petitioner, as per law, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, and communicate the same to the petitioner. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ____​__________ C.V. RAMULU, J 3rd September, 2007. IBL
