O R D E R
The prayer sought for in this writ petition is for a writ of Mandamus, directing the respondents 1 and 2 herein to disburse the petitioner's provident fund amount of Rs.14,03,390.49 by considering representation dated 03.08.2017 within the time stipulated by this Court.
2.Heard Mr.J.Lawrance, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Mr.D.Muruganantham, learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents.
3.The grievance of the petitioner is that the petitioner was working at the third respondent Society as Secretary and retired from service. However, the retiral benefits for the petitioner has not been disbursed. In this regard, even though the petitioner had given a detailed representation on 03.08.2017 to the respondents, nothing was forthcoming and the said request has not been considered and therefore, the leaned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that, if the said representation of the petitioner is directed to be considered by the respondents and an order to that effect is directed to be passed, within a time frame, the petitioner would be satisfied.
4.I have heard the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents, who would submit that the said representation of the petitioner dated 03.08.2017 would be considered on merits and an order to that effect would be passed within a time frame.
5.Considering the said submissions made by both sides and taking into account the limited scope of the prayer sought for in this writ petition, this Court is inclined to pass the following order:
"The respondents 1 and 2 are directed to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 03.08.2017, on merits and in accordance with law for the grant of retiral benefits to the petitioner and pass orders thereon, on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order".
6.With the above direction, this writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
