B. Yadagiri, v. The State Of Telangana,

HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI WRIT PETITION No.15877 of 2019 ORDER:

This writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission with the consent of learned counsel for the respective parties. This writ petition is filed seeking the following relief :- " ........to issue a Writ, Order or Direction more particularly one in the nature of writ of mandamus directing the Respondent No 2 in not sanctioning the Petitioner service pension as highly illegal, improper, arbitrary, unconstitutional and against the principles of natural justice and consequently direct the 2nd Respondent to grant service pension forthwith along with all retirement benefits......"

Heard Mr.K.Janakiram Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Services-II. It has been contended by the petitioner that he was appointed as a driver with the respondents and he has retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation on 31.05.2018. As the respondents have not sanctioned pension and pensionary benefits to him, the petitioner submitted a representation to the respondents on 22.05.2018 requesting to sanction pension and pensionary benefits. But, so far, the respondents have not passed any orders on the said representation nor considered the case of the petitioner for grant of pension and pensionary benefits. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that appropriate orders be passed in the writ petition directing the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for grant of pension and pensionary benefits by duly considering and disposing of the representation submitted by the petitioner on 22.05.2018.

Learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents has contended that the case of the petitioner will be considered and appropriate orders would be passed on the representation submitted by the petitioner on 22.05.2018 in accordance with law. This Court, having considered the rival submissions made by the learned counsel for the respective parties, is of the considered view that this writ petition can be disposed of directing the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for grant of pension and pensionary benefits and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law on the representation submitted by the petitioner on 22.05.2018 within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

With the above observations, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs.

Pending miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________________ ABHINAND KUMAR SHAVILI, J 06-11-2019 Prv
