I have heard the parties.

In view of the submission made by the Advocates appearing on behalf of the parties, I direct the Director of the Local Bodies being the respondent no. 3 to consider and dispose the representation and claim of the petitioner in so far as the retiral dues of the petitioner are concerned,

in accordance with law and following the extant Notifications within a period of two months from date. It is needless to mention that the respondent no. 3 will not be influenced by any observation made in this order on the merits of the case and is directed to pass a reasoned order in respect of the claim of the petitioner. With the aforesaid directions, the petition being WPA No. 20965 of 2018 is disposed of.

There will be, however, no order as to costs. (Ravi Krishan Kapur,J)
