1 10211.10 SQP IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.10211 OF 2010 Khatakale Mahadeo Shrirang ...Petitioner Versus The Union of India & Ors. ...Respondents ...... Mr.Shrishail Sakhare for Petitioner. None for Respondents. ...... CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR AND MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR, JJ. DATED:- APRIL 20, 2011. P.C. 1. The limited relief claimed in this Petition is to direct the respondent No.3 to decide the Appeal preferred by the petitioner challenging the decision of the respondent No.1 rejecting the relief of disbursal of disability pension to the petitioner. We are appalled to note that the respondent No.3 has not disposed of the appeal which concerns issue of grant of disability pension to the petitioner one way or the other for a period for over three years, as the same is pending since 2008. 2. We therefore, dispose of this Petition by directing the respondent No. 3-the Appellate Authority to pass appropriate orders as may be advised and 2 10211.10 finally dispose of the Appeal dated 29th July, 2008 preferred by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, in any case, not later than eight weeks from the date of communication of this order, either by the Registry of this Court or the petitioner, whichever is earlier. Needless to observe that all questions will have to be decided by the Appellate Authority on its own merits in accordance with law. (MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR, J.) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.)
