THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No.14485 of 2006 Dated: 17.07.2006 Between: M.A.G. Hussain, S/o late M.A. Hafeez Khan, Rtd. Depot Clerk, R/o H.No.4-14-58, Hasan Nagar, Near Mylaram Tank, Hyderabad. .... PETITIONER AND The Vice Chairman and Managing Director, APSRTC, Musheerabad, Hyderabad and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No.14485 of 2006 Order: Questioning the action of the respondents in not paying him the retirement benefits including Gratuity and P.F., the petitioner filed the present writ petition. The petitioner states that even though he retired from service on 30.06.2006, the respondents, because of M.P. No. 2 of 2006 filed by him, seeking to pay subsistence allowance and salary for the period from 20.11.2005 to 05.01.2006 to a tune of Rs.17,705.62 ps., is pending before the Labour Court-I, Hyderabad, are not considering his representation dated 01.07.2006 for settling his retiral benefits such as gratuity and P.F., which have nothing to do with the matter pending before the Labour Court. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents-Corporation. The main contention advanced by the petitioner is that since M.P. No. 2 of 2006 filed by him is pending before the Labour Court, the respondents are not considering his representation dated 01.07.2006 and are not settling his retiral benefits such as gratuity and P.F. Admittedly, the petitioner retired from service on 30.06.2006 and immediately thereafter he made a representation dated 01.07.2006 requesting the respondents to release his retiral benefits. Without even giving time for the respondents to consider his representation, the petitioner filed the present writ petition on 13.07.2006. It is premature to say at this stage that the respondents would not consider his request for release of the retiral benefits. However, inasmuch as the representation dated 01.07.2006 of the petitioner is said to be pending consideration before the respondents-Corporation, without going into the merits of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following direction. The respondents-Corporation shall consider the representation, dated 01.07.2006, of the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, expeditiously. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 17.07.2006 Nsr/Ksr
