Today Mr. Sonawane, learned AGP has tendered affidavit of one Mr. Anil Gulab Bansode, Superintendent, Pay and P.F. Unit, Education Department (Secondary), Satara. Paragraph 2 of the said affidavit reads as under : “2. I say that in the case of Shri Mohite V.V this office has frequently corresponded with the Management. However, the said Management has submitted the 2 same case to this office on 26.10.2007. But there were some queries in the case it was sent to the concerned Management as per this office letter No.6212, dated 29.10.2007. The same case was sent to this office by the Management on 19.11.2007. I say that this office has submitted the above case for approval to Accountant General, Mumbai as per letter No.Ac/Pen /07 / STD / 6585, dated 19.11.2007. In the same case there is no delay at this office level.” 3. Therefore, the matter is pending before the Accountant General, who is respondent No.6 herein. We are distressed to note that the authorities should take such long time to consider the petitioner's case. Looking to the history of the matter we direct 6th respondent to consider the proposal of the petitioner which is pending before him and if the petitioner is entitled to the pension release the pension within three weeks from today. 4. The entire exercise should be done within 3 weeks from today. Copy of this order be forwarded by the AGP to the 6th respondent. (SMT. ROSHAN DALVI, J.) (SMT.RANJANA DESAI, J.)
