(Oral) The petitioner is a retired Driver from the Punjab Roadways, Ludhiana. He alleges that his retiral benefits including pension etc. flowing from the Award dated 7.11.1983 passed by the Labour Court, are not being released in his favour. Ordinarily, this Court would have relegated the petitioner to seek his alternative remedy under Section 33-C of the Industrial Disputes Act, however, the petitioner has already served the respondents with a legal notice dated 4.10.2008 (Annexure P-4) but without any response. This writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 to take cognizance of the afore-mentioned legal notice dated 4.10.2008, served on behalf of the petitioner and dispose of the C.W.P.No .4554 of 2010 2 petitioner's pending claim as early as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Needless to say that if the petitioner is found entitled to, the necessary relief shall also be granted to him within a period of two months thereafter. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
