Mr. K.P.Upadhyay, learned Additional C.S.C. for the respondents. Date April 16, 2010. Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. The petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to grant to the petitioner the monthly pension of Rs. 3,000/- in pursuance to the Government Order dated 12-08-2009. In the course of arguments, learned counsel for the petitioner has urged that the ends of justice would be met if a direction is issued to the respondent No.2-District Magistrate to decide the representation of the petitioner (Annexure-7 to the petition) within a time bound period and the writ petition may be disposed of today. Prayer is innocuous. Accordingly the District Magistrate Nainital-respondent no.2 is directed to take a decision on the representation of the petitioner (Annexure-7 to the petition) in accordance with the Government Orders, expeditiously, preferably within a period of eight weeks from the date of production of certified copy of this order. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of finally. (B.S.Verma,J.) RCP 2 3
