His grievance is that the respondents have neither released the arrears as a result of retrospective pay revision w.e.f. 1.1.2006 nor all the retiral dues as per the revised pay scales including pension, gratuity, leave encashment etc. have been released. It is alleged that the above-stated monetary benefits have not been released despite issuance of the Government Instructions dated 17.8.2009 (Annexure P-1). In this regard, the petitioner is said to have served the respondents with a legal notice dated 6.12.2010 (Annexure P-2) also but without any response thereto. C.W.P.No .1715 of 2011 2 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, it appears imperative upon respondent Nos.2 to 4 to determine the dues to which the petitioner is entitled to on revision of the pay w.e.f. 1.1.2006 and release the same within a reasonable period. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the aforesaid respondents to consider the claim of the petitioner as contained in the legal notice dated 6.12.2010 (Annexure P-2) served on his behalf and release the due amount within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order, failing which the petitioner shall be entitled to claim interest @ 6% per annum.
