Naik, JJ. DATE : February 14, 2008. Heard Mr. Anand Parchure, Adv. for the Petitioner and Mr.Khubalkar, Assistant Government Pleader for the Respondent Nos. 1 to 3. It is brought to the notice of this Court by the counsel for the petitioner that letters dt. 6.7.2004 as well as 23.1.2006 issued by the respondent no.3 i.e. Social Welfare Officer, Zilla Parishad, Nagpur are impugned in the present petition. Mr.Anand Parchure, Adv. states that, in the affidavit dt. 6.02.2008 filed by the respondent no.3, it is specifically stated that the respondent no.3 is ready and willing to withdraw both these letters which are impugned in the Writ Petition and therefore, the basic cause of action involved in the Writ Petition does not survive. However, it is prayed that direction be given to the respondent no.3 to release the pensionary benefits at its earliest. In the backdrop of the 2 above referred facts, the Writ Petition is disposed of in terms of affidavit dt. 6.2.2008 filed by the respondent no.3. We expect the respondent no.3 to release pension and pensionary benefits at its earliest. Since the delay is caused at the hands of the respondent no.3, appropriate interest according to law may be granted to the petitioner on the amount of pension as well as pensionary benefits from the date the petitioner was eligible till it is paid to the petitioner.
