The Court made the following : THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.21412 OF 2008 ORDER: A representation was submitted by the petitioner, an Advocate of this Court, to the Commissioner of Endowments on 19.10.2006 with regards payment of the fees due to him from the Endowments Department for his having appeared before various authorities on their behalf. Since the petitioner’s entitlement to the fee claimed, and the quantum payable, are matters to be examined by the 2nd respondent, and this Court would, ordinarily, not adjudicate disputes of this nature, it is but appropriate that the 2nd respondent-Commissioner examines the representation submitted by the petitioner within a period of three months, determines the actual amount due and payable to him for his appearance on behalf of the Department in different cases and, on such ascertainment, shall ensures payment thereof at the earliest. With a view to ensure that there is no further delay in this regard, it is but appropriate that the petitioner furnishes another copy of the representation to the 2nd respondent within one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The 2nd respondent shall complete the entire exercise aforementioned within a period of four months from the date of receipt of such representation. The writ petition stands disposed of accordingly. No costs. ______________ 20..11..2008 GS
