The petitioner has come up with the present Writ Petition for a Mandamus, directing the fourth respondent to pay his revised terminal leave salary due to him, by considering his representation dated 11.04.2011. 4. The case of the petitioner is that he has initially joined as a Forest Guard in the Forest Department in Theni Division in the year 1980. Thereafter, he performed his duty as a Forest Guard without any room for complaints and was, therefore, promoted in the year 1996 and was https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 posted as a Forester in Kodaikanal Range in Dindigul Circle. Thereafter, he continued service in the Forest Department as a Forester in Dindigul Circle until his superannuation on 30.06.2008. However, revised terminal leave salary has not been paid to him till date. The petitioner, therefore, made a representation to the fourth respondent on 11.04.2011. However, the said representation was not considered so far and hence, the petitioner 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 fourth respondent to consider the said representation of the petitioner dated 11.04.2011 and pass appropriate orders on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6. The Writ Petition stands disposed of in the above terms. No costs.
