(ORAL) Prayer in the present writ petition by the petitioner is that the petitioner having retired on 31.10.2010, no retiral benefits have been released to the petitioner despite the fact that there is no charge-sheet or enquiry pending against the petitioner. Despite representation dated 24.1.2011 (Annexure P-2) as also dated 5.3.2011 (Annexure P-3) and thereafter legal notice dated 26.3.2011 (Annexure P-4), the retiral benefits have not been released to him till date. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner at this stage would be satisfied if a direction be issued to respondents to consider and decide the legal notice dated 26.3.2011 (Annexure P-4) within some specified time and to release retiral benefits as well. Without going into the merits of the case, nor Civil Writ Petition No. 6678 of 2011 -2- commenting thereon, the present writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to consider and decide the legal notice dated 26.3.2011 (Annexure P-4) submitted by the petitioner within a period of one month from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. In case, the petitioner is held entitled, and there is no impediment in release of retiral benefits, the same be released to him within a period of four weeks thereafter. 20.4.2011 (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH) 'sp' JUDGE
