2. By consent, the writ petition is taken up for disposal at the admission stage itself.

3. The petitioner seeks a writ of mandamus to direct the respondents to consider her representation dated 01.12.2014 within a time frame.

4. In the said representation, the petitioner has requested to continue to pay old age pension, which was paid to her from May 2010. The petitioner would state that without any notice and without any rhyme or reason, the pension has been abruptly stopped and therefore, she had made the request.

5. In the light of the above, there will be a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the petitioner's representation dated 01.12.2014, conduct an enquiry and look into the matter and if there is no justifiable reason for cancellation, then pension should be restored and arrears should be paid within a period of three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. However, if there https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
