He is aggrieved by the delay in the disbursal of the retirement benefits due to him. According to the petitioner, he is entitled to a monthly pension of Rs.14,276/- and Rs.3,30,000/- by way of gratuity. Learned standing counsel, on instruction , submits that though the petitioner retired on 31.12.2006 he had submitted his pension papers only on 18.12.2006. Hence the delay in processing the same. After having heard the counsel on both sides, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to take appropriate steps to see that the NLC/LC, if any, in relation to the petitioner is finalised after notice to him, within two months from today. Once that is done, the DCRG due to the petitioner will be disbursed, within one month thereafter. Steps will be taken to disburse the petitioner's pension due and admissible to him within the said period. (V.GIRI, JUDGE) ma K.THANKAPPAN,J CRL.A. NO.92 OF 1999 ORDER 25th May, 2007
