That request is pending with the addl.3rd respondent. But he has not considered Ext.P2. Feeling aggrieved, this writ petition has been filed. 2. Heard counsel for the parties. 3. Counsel for respondents 1 & 2 and addl. respondent No.3 submit that decision will be taken on Ext.P2 after due verification of the records without delay. 4. I think, fixation of time limit for taking decision on Ext.P2 is necessary. In the circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the addl. 3rd respondent to consider the request of the petitioner vide Ext.P2, pass orders after due verification of the records and communicate the same to the petitioner within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. 5. If it is found that the petitioner is entitled for pension at the rate of Rs.725/- for the period mentioned in WP(C).No.702 of 2007. 2 Ext.P2 or for any other period which the respondents may think it proper, the amount due pursuant to such decision shall be disbursed to the petitioner within two months thereafter.
