CORAM : D.D. SINHA AND A.P. BHANGALE, JJ. DATED : FEBRUARY 16, 2009 Heard Shri Raghute, learned Counsel for the petitioner, Shri Sanyal, learned Counsel for the respondent no.1, and Shri Thakre, learned Assistant Government Pleader for the respondent no.2. Shri Raghute, learned Counsel for the petitioner, states that petitioner was serving as a Lecturer in the respondent no.1 College and was superannuated with effect from 31/5/2008. However, till this date the pension and other retiral benefits are not released in favour of the petitioner by the competent Authority and, therefore, petitioner has filed the present petition for necessary directions. Shri Sanyal, learned Counsel for the respondent no.1, states that proposal of the petitioner for grant of pension and other retiral benefits to 2 which petitioner was entitled, has been forwarded to the respondent no.2 on 17.10.2008. Shri Thakur, learned Assistant Government Pleader for the respondent no.2, disputes this fact and states that respondent no.2 has not received any proposal from the Management till this date. Be that as it may, we direct the respondent no.1 to verify within one week whether earlier proposal dated 17.10.2008 alleged to have been sent by the respondent no.1 was in fact received by the respondent no.2. If there is any confusion in this regard, in that event, we direct the respondent no.1 to submit a fresh proposal for grant of pension and other retiral benefits to the petitioner to which he is entitled, within a period of fifteen days from today. Since this is a case of retired employee, we direct the respondent no.2 to decide the claim of the petitioner for grant of pension and other retiral benefits in accordance with law and procedure applicable in this regard within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of such proposal. With these observations and directions, the petition is disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE khj 3
