By consent, the Writ Petition is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission itself. 2. I have heard Mr.R.R.Kannan, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr.V.Rajasekaran, learned Special Government Pleader appearing for the respondents. 3. The petitioner has come up with the present Writ Petition for a Mandamus, directing the second and third respondents to pay the retirement benefits viz., pension, gratuity etc., to the petitioner with interest thereof from the date of retirement i.e., from 31.05.2010. 4. The case of the petitioner is that he was appointed as a Village Police by the first respondent on 03.01.1983. Thereafter he worked under various Village Administrative Officer. Finally, he worked as Village Assistant at Keelakottai Village in Dindigul District and retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation on 31.05.2010. He was allowed to retire by the first respondent on attaining https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 the age of superannuation, however, no charges are pending against the petitioner. 5. The third respondent herein has paid him the general provident fund by proceeding dated 27.07.2010. But, however, the other terminal benefits were not settled to him. 6. It seems that the third respondent has returned the pension proposal to the first respondent stating that his pension proposal has to be forwarded to the third respondent through the second respondent. 7. Thereafter, though the second respondent has sent the proposal to the first respondent, the first respondent has not initiated action. In view of the above stated position, I am inclined to direct the second respondent to send the proposal to the third respondent within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and on receipt of the same, the third respondent is directed to take suitable action and pass appropriate orders within a period of one month thereafter. 8) The Writ Petition is ordered accordingly. No costs. Consequently connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
