The prayer in this writ petition is to direct the respondents to disburse the Death-cum-Retirement Gratuity and arrears of pay arising out of pay revision. Pursuant to the interim order passed on 21.2.2005, Counsel for the petitioner submits that the arrears of DCRG have already been released. Now what remains is the petitioner's claim for arrears arising out of pay revision and interest claimed thereon. I notice that highlighting his grievances, petitioner has filed Ext.P4 representation before respondents 1 and 2 and the counsel submits that the representations are still pending. After hearing both sides, I dispose of this writ petition directing the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Exhibit-P4, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. I clarify that what survives to be considered in Ext. P4 is only the claim regarding pay revision arrears and claim for interest. Before final orders are passed, petitioner shall be given notice and an opportunity to be heard, if he so desires. (ANTONY DOMINIC,JUDGE) ma K.THANKAPPAN,J CRL.A. NO.92 OF 1999 ORDER 25th May, 2007
