**** HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI , J. (ORAL) In the present writ petition, the grievance of the petitioner is that she has been granted the Special Pension to the tune of `13,500/- per month w.e.f. 18.10.2017, whereas the said pension was revised by the respondents w.e.f. 01.12.2011 and the similarly situated employees have already been granted the same from the said date i.e. 01.12.2011. Counsel for the petitioner relies upon order dated 14.09.1998 (Annexure P-1) where the recommendation has already been made to grant the special family pension @ `13,500/- per month w.e.f. 01.12.2011, but the said recommendation is still to be applied in this case and the case of the petitioner is pending consideration with the authorities and no final decision has been taken by the respondents so far.
