HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C. BHANU WRIT PETITION No. 7883 of 2011 ORDER: Heard both sides. In this writ petition, the petitioner seeks for issuance of a Writ of Mandamus to declare the inaction of the respondents in releasing the terminal benefits of the petitioner as illegal and arbitrary, and consequential direction is sought to direct the respondents to release the terminal benefits to the petitioner. Learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent- Corporation, on instructions, stated that the petitioner has not submitted the claim form and bank account particulars for the purpose of deciding whether the petitioner is entitled for the terminal benefits or not. He further stated that if the petitioner makes any application giving the full particulars of the bank account along with the claim form, appropriate decision will be taken thereon by the respondent-Corporation. There cannot be any dispute that the retirement benefits for which an employee is eligible cannot be denied without any justifiable cause or reason. The grant of retirement benefits does not depend on an order being passed by the authorities to that effect. It may be that for the purpose of quantifying the amount having regard to the period of service and other allied matters, it may be necessary for the authority to pass an order to that effect duly taking note of the rules and regulations governing the service conditions of petitioner. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioner to submit appropriate application along with the claim form and particulars of his bank account to the respondent-Corporation in person and on such application being made by the petitioner, the respondent-Corporation shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with the rules and regulations within eight weeks thereafter. No costs. ______________ K.C. BHANU,J DATE: 18th April, 2011 pnb
