The writ application was filed in 2002, but till now no counter affidavit has been filed. It appears that the petitioner has filed representation before the respondent Civil Surgeon for such claim. There is nothing on - 2 - record to show that his representation has also been considered. Therefore, this Court directs the respondent Civil Surgeon to consider the representation of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders in respect of the said claim of the petitioner. If necessary he will refer the matter to the Department for approval. If claim of the petitioner is found to be correct, the admissible arrears shall be paid to the petitioner, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. However, in case, the claim of the petitioner is not found to be correct a speaking order shall be passed and shall be communicated to the petitioner within that very period. The writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. Arvind/ (J. N. Singh, J.)
