The Court made the following : ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the respondents to revise the pension of the petitioner who retired on 30.6.2001 by taking into account his former Military Service from 24.5.1960 to 8.6.1966 and also to fix his pay at Rs.122/- drawn by him at the time of discharge from Indian Air Force. Several contentions were raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned standing counsel for the respondents. Be that as it may, proceedings dated 5.2.2002 of the Assistant General Manager (Administration & Commercial), Office of the General Manager, Telecom District, Cuddapah would clearly indicate that the petitioner’s representation dated 26.12.2002 was receiving attention and therefore, the petitioner was directed to await further communication. Thereafter, no further communication has been made. The matter is still pending with the Asst. General Manager, for consideration before the 3rd respondent. Therefore, without entering into the merits of the case, I consider it appropriate to direct the respondents to take appropriate decision in pursuance of the petitioner’s representation, dated 26.12.2002 in accordance with law, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition is disposed of in terms of the above direction. In the circumstances of the case, there shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (K.C.
