1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO. 3867 OF 2007 (Padmakar Wasudeorao Dorle vs. State of Maharashtra & Ors.) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI & F.M. REIS, JJ. AUGUST 21, 2009. Heard Shri Patrikar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Mirza, learned AGP for the respondents. We find that the Circular dated 27.2.2006 is prospective in application, hence, the same may not be applicable in the case of the petitioner. However, the petitioner has made representation on 13.2.2007 for release of pension arrears at revised rates. If the petitioner is entitled to any revised rates of pension from 1.1.1996, the respondents shall work out his entitlement accordingly. As the representation itself is pending for more than two years, we direct the respondents to take appropriate decision in this respect as early as possible and in any case by 31.3.2010. The decision shall be communicated to the petitioner. 2 With this direction, writ petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. JUDGE JUDGE *GS.
