The grievance of the petitioner is that though he retired from the service of the K.S.R.T.C. on 31.12.2005 on attaining the age of superannuation, even his monthly pension has not been sanctioned or released. He has yet another grievance regarding the manner in which his period of absence was regularised. Ext.P4 representation submitted by the petitioner before the 1st respondent. The first respondent will take up Ext.P4, hear the petitioner and take a correct and just decision on Ext.P4 in the light of the various grounds raised in the Writ Petition at his earliest and at any rate within ten weeks of receiving a copy of this judgment. Since one of the requests in Ext.P4 is sanctioning of the monthly pension, it is only appropriate that the first respondent takes up that request as a preliminary request and takes a decision on the same even earlier. The Writ Petition will stand disposed of as above. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
