JUDGMENT The petitioner has filed Ext.P5 representation before the Government claiming that he is entitled for some more amount as pensionary benefits on the assumption that he had the right to continue in service till the age of 58 years. He has staked a belated claim inspired by Ext.P6 judgment. The petitioner is 73 years old. 2. Counsel for the petitioner submits that since the claim has been made before the Government, it would be desirable that the Government consider the same and pass orders. 3. Accordingly the writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to take appropriate decision on Ext.P5 and communicate the same to the petitioner. Having regard to the age of the petitioner, I feel it necessary to fix a time limit for passing orders on Ext.P5. Time for compliance is three months from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment. K.K.DENESAN Judge jj
