BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.A.J.VARGHESE THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 27/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: A.K.BASHEER, J. --------------------------------------------- W.P.(C)No.18793 OF 2007 --------------------------------------------- Dated this the 27th day of June, 2007 JUDGMENT Grievance of the petitioner, who is a retired Primary School Teacher, is that her retiral benefits are not being disbursed to her though she retired from service on 31.5.2006. 2. Learned Government Pleader, after getting written instructions from the Deputy Director of Education, Alappuzha, submits that petitioner's pensionary claims have already been sanctioned and relevant records have been forwarded to the Accountant General, Trivandrum as per office letter No.G1/4732 dated, 25.6.2007. Deputy Director has of course noticed that there was delay on the part of the District Educational Officer in submitting the rectification report in its full shape though he was requested to do so in September 2005 itself. 3. Anyhow, in view of the fact that relevant records have been forwarded to the office of the Accountant General W.P.(C)No.18793 OF 2007 :: 2 :: by the Deputy Director of Education, I am of the view that the writ petition can be disposed of with appropriate directions. 4. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Accountant General to process the pension papers and pass appropriate orders for disbursement of the benefits to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It shall be ensured by the respondents that the amounts are disbursed to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within an outer limit of four months from today. Writ petition is disposed of as above. A.K.BASHEER, JUDGE jes
