Her complaint is that she has not been granted her pensionary benefits till date. It is contended that her pension papers were not processed by the 1st respondent so as to enable them to disburse the pension of the petitioner. 2. The learned counsel for the 1st respondent, on instructions, submits that an amount of Rs.3,29,438/- being the pension contribution payable by the 1st respondent has already been paid and that the amount has already been forwarded to the Pension Board. The pension papers of the petitioner have also been forwarded to the Pension Board. Therefore, the 1st respondent has done all that is to be done for sanctioning the retirement benefits of the petitioner. It is submitted that it is for the Pension Board to process the application and to disburse the pension of the petitioner. W.P.(C) No.31574/2009 2 3. The Pension Board has been impleaded as the additional 4th respondent in this Writ Petition. Therefore, it is sufficient that the 4th respondent is directed to disburse the pension to the petitioner at an earlier date. 4. In the above circumstances, this Writ Petition is disposed of directing the additional 4th respondent to process the application for pension submitted by the 1st respondent on behalf of the petitioner and to sanction and disburse the pension of the petitioner to her, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
