SC SRI. D. KRISHNA PRASAD THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/12/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.36026 OF 2009 (W) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of December, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is an Association of the retired employees of the first respondent Bank. They claim the benefit of Regulation 29(5) of the Pension Regulations available to those who have availed the Voluntary Retirement Scheme. According to the petitioner in view of Exts.P4 and P5 orders of the Apex Court and Ext.P6 judgment of the Bombay High Court they are entitled to the benefit. 2. Irrespective of the assertions so made, I notice that the petitioner have already moved the first respondent by filing Ext.P8. Now that a claim has been made by the petitioner, it is up too the first respondent to deal with the same and pass appropriate orders thereon. Since, according to the petitioner, orders have not been passed on Ext.P8, I direct the first respondent to consider Ext.P8 and pass orders thereon, duly adverting to Exts.P4 to P6 referred to above. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 6 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment along with a copy of the writ petition. Writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC) vi JUDGE WPC.No. /09 :2 :
