Already, the pensionary benefits including DCRG have been sanctioned as per order dated 18.5.2000 of the Accountant General.

Ext.P4 is the acknowledgment showing receipt of the appeal. Ext.P5 is the copy of the reminder submitted by the petitioner thereafter. By Ext.P6, the Government has directed the Deputy Director of Education to forward the detailed parawise report. The petitioner prays that the first respondent may be directed to dispose of Ext.P3 appeal within a time frame. 2. There will be a direction to the Government to take a decision on Ext.P3 appeal after hearing the petitioner, within a period of four months 9567/2011 2 from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs. The petitioner will produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of the writ petition before the first respondent for compliance. (T.R.
