By consent of both parties, the writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the admission stage itself. 2.The petitioner has come up with this writ petition seeking
a direction to the respondents 3 and 4 to comply with the order of the 2nd respondent in Na.Ka.A6/1393/2018 dated 19.09.2018, based on his representation dated 16.09.2018. 3.It is the grievance of the petitioner that after his retirement, the fourth respondent has not furnished his service book and the third respondent has not settled the retirement benefits due to him.
