TO JUDGE dsn T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ------------------------------------- W.P.(C)No.5219 Of 2004-U -------------------------------------------------- DATED THIS THE 20TH DAY OF JULY, 2011 J U D G M E N T This Writ Petition was filed by the petitioner seeking for a direction to the 3rd respondent to issue the non-liability certificate and for a direction to release the gratuity benefits. Evidently, the petitioner's complaint was with respect to fixation of certain liabilities. 2. The Writ Petition was posted on 24.6.2011 as steps were not taken for sending notice to the 3rd respondent and further it was adjourned to 28.6.2011 for judgment. The learned counsel for the petitioner then submitted that he had sent a registered letter to the petitioner and instructions are awaited. Today, the learned counsel for the petitioner reported no instructions. The learned Government Pleader submitted that way back in 2004 various items of liabilities have been finalised against the petitioner. Evidently, those proceedings are not under challenge in the present Writ Petition. If the proceedings for issuance of W.P.(C)No. 5219/04 -2- non-liability certificate have not been finalised so far and if there are any subsisting grievances for the petitioner, the petitioner can take up the matter before the competent authority. If the DCRG has already been released and no further complaints are raised by the petitioner, the matter will be treated as closed. SD/-(T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE) dsn
