(Judgment of the Court was made by DR.ANITA SUMANTH, J.) We heard Mr.S.Srikrishnan appearing for the appellants and Mr.S.Govindan appearing for the respondent.

2.We find no infirmity in the order of the Writ Court in disposing the W.P(MD)No.20000 of 2024. The prayer was for a mandamus directing the respondents to settle the difference in Grade Pay as per Section 12(3) Settlement dated 04.01.2018.

4. As the respondent states that he is yet to see the colour of the coin despite the order of the Court being dated 22.08.2024 and the time frame of twelve weeks being fixed by the Court, in order to facilitate the process of implementation of the order, the respondent will appear before the appellants on 24.09.2025 along with all materials in support of his claim, including the representation filed by him and copies of the 12(3) settlement and the appellants shall settle the amount within the period of eight weeks from the hearing of the petition.
