1. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has retired on 30.04.2019, who was a professor in the aided college of Respondent No. 3 i.e. D.P. Vipra College. It is further submitted that since it was a aided college the petitioner was entitled to receive the benefits of 7th pay commission as the similarly placed employees have been granted the benefits. Under the circumstances, since the other similarly placed employees have been granted the benefits of 7th pay commission in respect of pension and other ancillary benefits, the petitioner at this stage prays that she has made a representation

to the Commissioner Higher Education Department (Respondent No. 2) on 08.01.2020 Annexure P-1) for grant of benefits and prays that the same may be directed to be decided by a speaking order so that the petitioner may also get the benefits which are being granted to the similarly placed employees.

2. Considering the limited prayer made, at this stage, without any observation on the merits as to the entitlement of the petitioner, the Respondent No. 2 is directed to decide the representation (Annexure P-1) of the petitioner within a further period of 4 months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

3. With the aforesaid observation, the petition stands disposed of. Sd/- (Goutam Bhaduri) Jyoti Vacation Judge
