¶11

The petitioner seeks relief of direction to the respondents to pay retiral dues and also grant of benefit of ACP scheme on completion of 4, 9 and 14 years of service as per the policy of the State Government dated 25.09.1998 (Annexure P-1) and further amended on 03.11.2006 (Annexure P-2) and for grant of all consequential benefits arising thereto.

¶12

It is the case of the petitioner that he has retired as Beldar on 31.05.2015 and has not been granted the above said benefits in spite of moving various representations. Counsel for the petitioner submits that representation dated 13.06.2015 (Annexure P-3) has been served on respondent no. 3 for the said relief but no action has been taken on the same. Counsel further submits that he would be satisfied at this stage if a direction is issued to the said respondent to take a decision on the said representation within a time bound frame.

¶13

Keeping in view the limited relief sought and without going into the merits of the case, this Court does not feel it necessary to call upon the respondents to file reply.

¶14

Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no. 3 to take into consideration the representation dated 13.06.2015 (Annexure P-3) and decide the same within a period of 3 months from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order. In case the amounts are found to be due, payment be made within two months thereafter. Needless to say that in case the relief is to be denied, the order should contain reasons.
