It is further submitted that the petitioners approached the competent authority for redressal of his grievance but to no avail, as no appropriate orders have been passed. Therefore liberty may be given to the petitioners to approach the opposite party no.1 preferring a fresh representation and direction may be issued to decide the same strictly in accordance with law, with expedition. 4. Sri Tiwari has drawn attention of this Court towards one letter dated 15.06.2024 preferred by the Executive Engineer, Karya Prabharit Adhisthan Prakoshta on behalf of Engineer-in- Chief, Irrigation Department addressing to all concerned Executive Engineers apprising that the payment of pension to all the employees who are the petitioners in re: Prem Singh (supra) has been made and who are not petitioners in the contempt petition in re: Prem Singh (supra) shall also be entitled for the same benefit, therefore, those employees may also be provided the same benefit on the basis of principles of parity. 5. Sri Tiwari has also submitted that the authorities are making payment of pension to similarly placed employees, therefore, the same benefit may be provided to the petitioners. 6. Therefore, in view of the above, without entering into merits of the issue, I hereby dispose of this petition finally at the admission stage giving liberty to the petitioners to prefer a fresh representation to the opposite party No. 1, i.e., the Principal Secretary, Public Works Department, Civil Secretariat U.P., Lucknow ventilating their grievance taking all pleas and grounds which are available with them enclosing therewith the copy of their earlier representation, if any, which are necessary for disposal of the representation within a period of ten days' from today and if such representation is preferred by the petitioners within the aforesaid stipulated time, the authority concerned shall consider and dispose of the same strictly, by passing a speaking and reasoned order strictly in accordance with law after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioners, if it is so required, with expedition preferably, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order and the decision thereof shall be intimated to the petitioners forthwith. 7.
