It is the case of the petitioner that after his retirement and submission of his pension papers, he was paid only 75% provisional pension and the other benefits were not paid to him. Thereafter, he met the respondent authorities and requested them to release the balance amount of 25% pension and other retiral benefits, but when no heed was paid by the CWP No. 9934 of 2009 -2- respondent authorities, the petitioner served a legal notice dated 24.3.2009, copy of which has been annexed as Annexure P-2. It is further case of the petitioner that till date, the said legal notice has not been considered and decided. The further case of the petitioner is that no charge sheet or disciplinary proceeding is pending against him. In view of the above, after hearing counsel for the petitioner, without issuing notice of motion as it will un-necessary delay the matter, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 to consider and decide the legal notice dated 24.3.2009 (Annexure P-2) in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within a period of three months.
