IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P. No. 4958 of 2009 DATE OF DECISION: MARCH 30, 2009 Mann Singh .....PETITIONER Versus State of Punjab and others ....RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL --- Present: Mr.Ashwani Kumar Kaushal, Advocate, for the petitioner. .. SATISH KUMAR MITTAL, J. (Oral) The petitioner was working with Food Corporation of India as House Watchman on regular basis. He retired from service on 31.1.2002. It is the case of the petitioner that immediately after the retirement, the petitioner approached the respondents for release of his pension etc., but the respondents have not considered his prayer till date in spite of many representations made to them. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that legal notice (Annexure P10) was also given to the respondents on 30.9.2008, but till date even no decision has been taken on the said legal notice. In view of the above, without issuing notice to the other side as it will unnecessarily delay the matter, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Regional Manager, Food Corporation of India, Sector 31, Chandigarh to consider and decide the said legal notice as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of three months.
