No. 2635 OF 2007 ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 7th day of August, 2009 J U D G M E N T Balakrishnan Nair, J. The appellant is the writ petitioner. He retired from government service as a Lower Primary School Headmaster on 31.3.1991. Claiming service benefits, which should have been granted to him in 1968 and also in 1992, the writ petition was filed. The learned single Judge dismissed the writ petition on the ground of delay and laches. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that his pension has not so far been revised pursuant to Ext.P2 order dated 1.9.2006. The learned Judge observed that if he is a beneficiary of that order, his pension will be revised. The learned Judge observed that he will get whatever he is entitled to get under Ext.P2. Subject to that observation, the writ petition was dismissed. Feeling aggrieved by the said judgment, this writ appeal is filed. We notice that all the claims raised by the appellant are highly belated except the claim regarding the benefit flowing from Ext.P2. Therefore, we find no reason to take a WA.2635/07 : 2 : different view. But, if the petitioner has submitted his application in the Form appended to Ext.P2 and pursuant to that if his pension has not been revised, the same shall be revised within four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. If, for any reason, the benefit of Ext.P2 cannot be granted to the appellant, the 5th respondent shall inform the appellant the reason for the same. Subject to the above direction, the writ appeal is dismissed. Sd/- (K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE) Sd/- (C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) aks // True Copy // P.A. to Judge
