Mr. Narender Hooda, Advocate present in the Court has been asked to accept notice on behalf of respondents. Keeping in view the nature of relief claimed and with the consent of learned counsel for the parties, this petition is being disposed of at the motion stage itself. The petitioner initially joined the H.S.E.B as Line Man in April, 1974. Thereafter, he was promoted as A.F.M and retired on 31.1.2008 on attaining the age of superannuation. The short grievance of the petitioner is that he has not been paid full retiral benefits. His provisional pension and some amount of gratuity and leave encashment have been paid. Petitioner has served a legal notice (Annexure P-3) in this respect but no decision has been taken thereon till date. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner would be satisfied, if, respondents are directed to take decision on the legal notice served by the petitioner, referred to above. CWP. No. 18040 of 2010 -2- In view of the above, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no.2 to take decision on the legal notice served by the petitioner, within a period of three months from the date certified copy of this order is served upon the said respondent. If, the petitioner is found entitled to any relief, the same may be released in his favour within a period of one month thereafter. Needless to say that in the event the claim of the petitioner is to be rejected, the same shall be by a reasoned and speaking order. (PERMOD KOHLI) JUDGE 5.10.2010. lucky
