Hon'ble Ajay Bhanot,J. Heard Shri Prakash Chandra Shukla, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the State- respondents No. 1 and 2. The petitioner claims that he is entitled to pension which has been denied to him. He has made a representation in this regard but to no avail. Learned Standing Counsel for the State-respondents No. 1 and 2 submits that the matter requires determination of facts by the competent authority as per law in the first instance. However, he fairly contends that the claim for pension is liable to be decided by the competent authority in a reasonable time frame. In the wake of preceding discussions and without going into the merits of the case, the respondent No.2-Inspector General of Registration, Uttar Pradesh, Prayagraj is directed to decide the representation of the petitioner for grant of pension, preferably, within a period of three months as per law from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order along with a fresh copy of the representation. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition is finally disposed of.
