(Oral) Counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner, after serving the respondents as Field Officer, retired on 31.8.2005. As some departmental proceedings were pending against him, the retiral benefits were not released to him. Initially, when the charge-sheet was issued to the petitioner, he was held liable for recovery of some amount against which the petitioner had preferred appeal. She contends that, as of now, all disciplinary proceedings have culminated and there is no further enquiry pending against him. The last enquiry came to an end on 15.3.2011. Despite there being no impediment in release of retiral benefits to the petitioner, still no benefit has been granted to him. The petitioner is claiming a writ in the nature of mandamus and when confronted with this fact that he has not made a representation with regard to the claim the petitioner has made in this writ petition, counsel for the petitioner prays for liberty to file a detailed representation enumerating therein all his claims which he is entitled to but has not been granted till date. She further states C.W.P.No.7203 of 2011 -2- that some time bound direction be issued to the respondent to take a decision thereon so that the petitioner can get his retiral benefits keeping in view the fact that he had retired on 31.8.2005. Prayer made by the counsel for the petitioner is accepted. Petitioner is permitted to file a detailed representation to the respondent within a period of two weeks from today.
