RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present: Mr. Ashok Bhardwaj, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. ( Oral ) The petitioner, who was working as Development Officer Grade-I with the New India Assurance Company Limited, has filed the instant petition for issuing direction to the respondents to release his retiral benefits, which have not been released so far. It is the case of the petitioner that on attaining the age of superannuation, he has retired from the respondent Company on 30.9.2006, but due to the pendency of a charge sheet against the petitioner, the retiral benefits could not be released to him. In the said charge sheet, the final decision has been taken and no action has been proposed against the petitioner. In spite of that, the respondents are not releasing the retiral benefits of the petitioner. In this regard, the petitioner submitted a representation dated 17.11.2008 to respondent No.3, copy of CWP No. 10457 of 2009 -2- which is annexed as Annexure P-2, but the same has also not been considered and decided so far. Counsel for the petitioner states that at this stage, the petitioner will be satisfied if a direction is issued to respondent No.4 to consider and decide the said representation. In view of the aforesaid facts, without issuing notice of motion as it will un-necessary delay the matter, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.4 to consider and decide the representation dated 17.11.2008 (Annexure P-2) in accordance with law, expeditiously and preferably within a period of three months.
