THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.10433 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was employed as a Teacher in A.B.M. High School, Bapatla, Guntur District, respondent No.4 herein; admitted to grant-in-aid. However, it is stated that he did not attend to duties of that School from 04.10.1979 onwards till he became 58 years old in the year 1993. He wanted the institution to give him a certificate to the effect that he attained the age of superannuation. When the same was denied, he filed a writ petition and ultimately, the institution gave such a certificate. This writ petition is filed with a prayer to direct the District Educational Officer, Guntur, respondent No.3 herein, to forward his pension papers, to the Office of the Accountant General, respondent No.5 herein. In the counter-affidavit filed by respondent No.3, it is stated that the petitioner is not entitled for pension at all, since he was not in service before he attained the age of superannuation. It is further stated that in compliance with the directions issued by this Court, the pension papers of the petitioner were forwarded to the Office of respondent No.5, vide proceedings, dated 28.08.2010, duly stating the relevant facts. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader for School Education for respondent Nos.1 to 3, learned counsel for respondent No.4 and the learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.5. It is a matter of record that the petitioner left the service of the institution way back in the year 1979 and he did not join the duty of the institution before he attained 58 years. Under these circumstances, whether it can be said that he retired from service at all and whether he is entitled for being paid pension, needs to be considered by the Office of respondent No.5. Hence, the writ petition is closed, taking on record the fact that respondent No.3 has forwarded the pension papers of the petitioner to respondent No.5. There shall be no order as to costs. ______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:20.09.2010. kdl
