As short question is involved, the petition is taken up for final disposal forthwith by consent. Heard the counsel for the parties. 3. The limited relief claimed in this petition is to issue direction to the respondents to grant pension and pensionary benefits to 2 677610 the petitioner as per order dated 8th September, 2009 passed by this Court in Writ Petition No. 6710 of 2009. In that sense, this petition is in the nature of execution petition in relation to order already passed by this Court. 4. Be that as it may, on the earlier occasion, the Court was informed that the State has challenged the correctness of the order dated 8th September, 2009 passed in Writ Petition No. 6710 of 2009 before the Supreme Court. For that reason, we deferred the hearing of this petition. Now, it transpires that the Special Leave Petition preferred by the State of Maharashtra before the Supreme Court has been rejected on 28th March, 2011 on the ground of delay. In other words, the order passed by this Court dated 8th September, 2009 in Writ Petition No. 6710 of 2009 has attained finality. In that view of the mater, the respondents have no choice but to give effect to the said order expeditiously. 5. Accordingly, we dispose of this petition, with direction to the respondents to ensure that the grievance of the petitioner is redressed, and the directions contained in order dated 8th September, 2009 passed in Writ Petition No. 6710 of 2009 are taken to its logical end, without any further delay, in any case not later than eight weeks from today, and 3 677610 report compliance in that behalf within the same time. The decision taken by the respondents be communicated to the petitioner also within the same time. 6. This petition is allowed in the above terms. 7. For the time being, we refrain to pass any order as to costs, although we are inclined to do so. In the event the respondents fail to comply with the directions contained in this order within the specified time, the Court may have to take serious view of the matter, and proceed against the concerned erring official in accordance with law.
