No.667/2009 in O.P. No.16437/1999 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 31st July, 2009. O R D E R All that the petitioner seeks is an opportunity to approach the Government for compassionate allowance and other service benefits, if any, to which the petitioner is eligible, in the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case. However, it is apprehended that in view of the judgment that the petitioner is free to approach the Government only if conviction is set aside by the appellate court, the petitioner is prevented from approaching the Government effectively. It is submitted that the conviction in respect of the main offences has been set aside. Therefore, the petitioner seeks an opportunity to approach the Government. It is made clear that in view of the above submissions, the judgment dated 24.11.2005 will not stand in the way of the petitioner approaching the Government seeking any eligible benefits. It is informed that the petitioner is sick and aged. Taking note of the above circumstances, in case any such representation is filed before the Government, the same will be considered in R.P. No.667/2009 in O.P. No.16437/1999 2 accordance with law within three months from the date of receipt thereof. In case the petitioner seeks an opportunity for hearing, the same shall also be granted. The Review Petition is disposed of as above. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. tgs KURIAN JOSEPH, J ---------------------------------------------- R.P. No.667/2009 in O.P.
