(Oral) The petitioner retired on 31.5.2008 from the post of Upper Division Clerk on attaining the age of superannuation. The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents have withheld an amount of Rs.78,657/- from the retiral benefits, without any valid reason. The petitioner has served a Legal Notice (Annexure P-3). But the same has not been decided. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he would be satisfied if the respondents are directed to consider the legal notice and take a decision thereon. In view of the above, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondents to take a decision on the legal notice (Annexure P-3) within a period of two months from the date a certified copy of this order is furnished to respondents. Needless to say, in the event the claim of the petitioner is to be rejected, it should be by a reasoned and speaking order. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 16.1.2009 MFK
