JUDGMENT

(Judgment of the Court was made by HULUVADI G.RAMESH, J.) Heard the learned counsel for the appellant and the learned Government Advocate for the respondent.

2. It appears that on the ground of inordinate delay and laches, the learned single Judge has dismissed the writ petition praying for a direction to the respondent to consider his representation in accordance with law with regard to the extension of pensionary benefits as is available to others. The case of the appellant/writ petitioner is that he is entitled for higher pension, but his request has not been considered by the respondent. As such, we direct the appellant/writ petitioner to https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

make a representation to the respondent. It is for the respondent to consider the case of the appellant/writ petitioner and to pay the enhanced pensionary benefits on account of the Government Order issued from time to time and also if the petitioner is entitled for the arrears, if any, the same may be calculated and paid within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ appeal stands disposed of. No costs.
