The petitioner has come up with the present Writ Petition for a Mandamus, directing the respondents herein to sanction and release forthwith the arrears of Dearness Allowance payable to petitioner from 01.04.1992 to 30.09.2007. 4. The case of the petitioner is that he has retired as Over Head Tank Operator. On attaining the age of superannuation, on 30.09.2009, the State Government, by its letter, dated 14.08.2008, directed to disburse the Dearness Allowance payable from 01.04.1992 to 31.10.2006 to the Over Head Tank Operator and Sweepers of the Panchayats. Since the said amount has not been paid, the petitioner has sent numerous representations to the respondents. However the same has not been considered so far and he has come up with the present Writ Petition for the reliefs stated earlier. 5. Considering the limited scope of the matter, without expressing any opinion on the claim made by the petitioner, I direct the third respondent to consider the claim of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. The Writ Petition stands disposed of in the above terms. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed. No costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(AS) /True Copy/ Sub-Assistant Registrar To 1.
