No.23359 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 22nd day of October, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is the legal heir of late Smt.C.M.Janu, who was an Administrative Officer in the Coir Board. He has two grievances in this writ petition. One is that Smt.C.M.Janu retired from service on 31/10/1995 and was receiving pension. While so, Smt.Janu expired on 20/12/2007, and the pension for the period from 01/12/2007 to 20/12/2007 has not been paid. The other grievance of the petitioner is that by Ext.P3, the Government of India had revised the pensionary benefits with retrospective effect from 01/01/2006, and that the benefits of Ext.P3 also have not been released by the respondents. It is with these grievances, this writ petition is filed. 2. It is seen that the petitioner has already moved the 1st respondent claiming these benefits by filing Exts.P4 & P5 representations, and that these representations also were not responded. WP(C) No.23359/2009 -2- 3. Having regard to the above, this writ petition is disposed of directing that on production of a copy of this judgment, the 1st respondent shall take steps for the release of the benefits that were due to late Smt.C.M.Janu, to her legal heirs. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. This writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
