Heard Mr.J.Nisha banu, learned Counsel for the petitioner and Mr.B.Pugalendhi, learned Special Government Pleader, who takes notice for the respondents. 3. By consent, the writ petition itself is taken up for final disposal. 4. While the petitioner, Mr.P.Elias, was working as Special Officer in Kanyakumari District Tailoring Women Development Cottage Cooperative Society Limited, disciplinary proceedings were initiated against him by the Department. Finally, he was allowed to retire from his service, on reaching the age of superannuation on 31.03.2000. He also approached the Tamil Nadu State Administrative Tribunal by filing O.A.No.2517 of 2002 with a prayer to pass an order of direction to the Department to pass appropriate orders with regard to disbursement of his retirement benefits with effect from 31.03.2000. Though the said O.A. was allowed, subsequently, the petitioner again filed a writ petition in W.P.No.493 of 2004 for implementation of the said order. By order dated 25.01.2005, it was reported by the Government that the proposals were already sent to the second respondent/Accountant General of Tamil Nadu. On that basis, the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 petitioner was directed to pursue the remedy before the second respondent. 5. Under this background, the petitioner again after filing one more writ petition in W.P.Nos.23530 and 33127 of 203, this Court by order dated 08.07.2011 held that the petitioner is entitled for his retirement benefits. Therefore, the petitioner has submitted his representation on 27.10.2011 for disbursement of pensionary benefits, which has been pending for long time. As the respondents have not considered the same, he has come to this Court with the above writ petition. 6. Though, the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that now there is no impediment to the respondents to disburse the pensionary benefits to the petitioner, however, if a direction is given to the respondents to disburse the pensionary benefits of the petitioner, it would meet the ends of justice. 7. As the petitioner's representation dated 27.10.2011 is pending for a long time, the respondents are directed to consider and pass appropriate order on the basis of earlier order passed by this Court on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 8. With the above observations, this Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. Sd ASST REGISTRAR ( AS ) /TRUE COPY/ SUB ASST REGISTRAR ssl To 1.
