The case of the petitioner is that he has joined as Village Assistant between 1978 to 1981 at Kavathagudi Village, Avudaiyarkovil Taluk. Thereafter in the year 1981, he was promoted as Village Administrative Officer and he was allowed to retire as per the proceeding dated 30.09.2009. Even though, as per G.O.No.68/1996, dated 23.01.1996, after he joined as a Village Administrative Officer, he ought to have been upgraded as Special Village Administrative Officer within a period of 20 years. However, he was not upgraded to the said post by the respondents. The petitioner has stated that already he has retired on 30.09.2009 and he has produced all documents before the fifth respondent regarding the payment of retirement benefits. But, however, till date, the retirement benefits have not been settled to the petitioner and hence, the petitioner has come up with the present writ petition for the relief stated earlier. 5. Considering the limited scope of the matter, without expressing any opinion on the claim made by the petitioner, I direct the fifth respondent to consider the grievance of the petitioner for settlement of the entire terminal benefits to him. The said exercise has to be carried out by the fifth respondent within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. No costs. Consequently connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
