JUDGMENT The petitioner retired from service on 31.3.1997 from the District Co-operative Bank, Thiruvananthapuram. He has put in a total service of 27 years in various capacities. The petitioner was a subscriber of Employees Provident Fund Scheme, 1952 and his Account Number is KR/1896/99. The petitioner states that going by Ext.P3, the closing balance in his account is Rs.31,852/-. Aggrieved by the delay in sanctioning of the E.P.F. Pension, this writ petition was filed. 2. In the statement filed by the second respondent, in para 2 it is stated that the petitioner had not applied for pension, nor submitted any other representation other than Ext.P5. In response to the same, he was directed to prefer his application in Form 10D for sanction of monthly pension by letter dated 4.6.2008, a copy of which has been produced as Ext.R2(a). It is assured that the petitioner's application for pension will be processed as soon as the same is submitted along with the related documents. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that already the application has been submitted in Form 10D. wpc 17040/2008 2 3. In that view of the matter, there will be a direction to process the application and disburse the admissible amount along with arrears to the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) kav/
