BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.BEJOY CHANDRAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/11/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No.31127 of 2007 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 29th day of November 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioner retired from the Panchayat Department on 30.4.2006. His grievance is that the pensionary benefits including provisional pension, DCRG etc. have not been disbursed to him. Apparently the delay in processing the pension papers of the petitioner is on account of the absence of appropriate endorsement in his service book indicating passing of departmental test prior to the promotion. This is evident from Ext.P2. According to the petitioner, this is not correct. He had passed the departmental tests and these facts have been brought to the notice of the Director of Panchayats. 2. After having heard the learned Government Pleader also, the writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to look into Ext.P4, and if necessary endorsements have been made in the petitioner’s service book, orders will be issued sanctioning the retirement benefits due and admissible to the petitioner. Needful shall be done in this regard, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. V.GIRI, JUDGE css W.P.(C)31127/2007 2
