At the hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that after filing of this writ petition, a sum of Rs.1,21,733/- was paid to the petitioner on 13-07-2001 from out of the sum of Rs.1,61,861/- payable to him towards gratuity and that the balance amount has been with held without any justification. He submitted that the writ petition may be disposed of with permission to the petitioner to make a representation to release the balance amount and a direction to the respondent to dispose of the said representation. As I find this request of the learned counsel reasonable, the writ petition is disposed of without going into the merits of the contentions raised by the petitioner by permitting him to make a representation for release of the balance amount. The respondent shall dispose of the representation, if made, within a period of four weeks of its receipt and communicate the order to the petitioner. As a sequel to the dismissal of the writ petition W.P.M.P.No.15019 of 1999 is dismissed. No costs. -------------------------------- C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 29th December, 2008 SKM
