Originally, provisional pension was given to the petitioner, and the representations were made by him. Without any avail, he issued a legal notice on 21.6.2006 to the first respondent, and it has not been replied. Under the circumstances, the petitioner has brought forth this writ petition before this Court. 5.According to the learned Additional Government Pleader, there are certain audit objections with regard to the benefits as asked for by the petitioner. 6.From the submissions made, it would be quite clear that what has been paid to him was only the provisional pension and gratuity, and it has not been fully paid. Following the representation, which was pending in the hands of the first respondent without being considered, there was a legal notice issued by him. Though the petitioner has retired from service on attaining superannuation in the month of May 2001, the matter is pending for the past six years. This Court is able to see inordinate delay. In such circumstances, it has become necessary to issue a direction to the first respondent to pass necessary orders on the representation of the petitioner dated 10.9.2005, within a period of ten weeks herefrom as one required under the facts and circumstances. Accordingly, a direction is issued, and this writ petition is disposed of. No costs. Consequently, connected MP is closed. sd/- Asst.Registrar /true copy/ Sub Asst.Registrar nsv/ To; 1.The Commissioner Corporation of Chennai Rippon Building Chennai 600 003. 2.The Secretary to Government Tamilnadu, Municipal Administration and Water Supply Department Fort St. George,Chennai 600 009. + 2 CCS TO Mrs.D.Nagasaila Advocate SR.NOS.61532,61120 + 1 cc to Mr.T.Mathi Advocate SR.NO.61081 NSM(CO) RD 9.10.07 WP No.28030 of 2006 https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
