01.12.2021 jb.

W.P.A. 18412 of 2021 (Paresh Bachar vs. State of West Bengal & Ors.) Mr. Rananeesh Guha Thakurta Ms. Senjuti Sengupta .... For the Petitioner Mr. Ansar Mondal Mr. Bipin Ghosh .... For the State Affidavit-of-service filed on behalf of the petitioner be taken on record.

The petitioner and the State respondents are represented. None appears on behalf of the private respondent despite service of notice.

Heard learned counsels for the parties.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he superannuated from service on 1st January, 2012 but was not paid the gratuity by the 3rd respondent for which the petitioner filed an application before the 2nd respondent on 4th June, 2019 which was registered as case No. 92/19/G/HOW, but the said application has not been disposed of as yet. The petitioner prays for a

direction upon the 2nd respondent to dispose of the said application at the earliest.

Having considered the submissions made on behalf of the parties and material on record, I dispose of the writ petition for a direction upon the 2nd respondent to consider and dispose of the application filed by the petitioner dated 4th June, 2019 within a period of three months from the date of communication of this order after affording reasonable opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, in accordance with law.

W.P.A. 18412 of 2021 is thus disposed of.

There shall be no order as to costs.

Since no affidavit has been invited, allegations contained in the writ petition shall be deemed not to have been admitted.

Urgent certified website copy of the order, if applied for, be given to the parties on compliance of requisite formalities.
