JUSTICE AJAY DIGPAUL O R D E R % 17.04.2025 CM APPL. 22288/2025 1. This is an application for extension of 12 weeks time to comply with the directions for issuing a revised pension payment order as per order dated 27 February 2025 passed by this Court. 2. The reason for seeking extension of time as contained in para 2 of the application reads thus: “2. That as per the aforesaid directions of this Hon'ble Court, revised Pension Payment Order is required to be issued by the respondents within a period of six weeks from the date of order i.e. 27.02.2025. However, it is respectfully submitted before this Hon'ble Court that since, the matter pertains to a policy of GOI (DOP&PW) and for taking further action in the matter, it would require inter ministerial/inter-department consultation and reference is required to be examined by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievance and Pension, DOP&PW, through Ministry of Home Affairs after consulting MOL&J which is an exhaustive and time taking exercise, as such, the respondents require at least 12 weeks more time for further course of action in terms of the solemn This is a digitally signed order.

To our mind, it is completely unacceptable for the respondents to take a stand that the issue of compliance of the order passed by this Court has to travel through departmental channels before it is implemented and that further deliberations are required in the matter. 4. Nonetheless, as a matter of indulgence, we are granting two weeks and no more to the respondents to comply with the order passed by this Court. 5. Re-notify on 1 May 2025 to ascertain compliance. 6. In case, the order is not complied with, the concerned officer of the respondents would be present in Court on the next date of hearing. 7. Dasti. C. HARI SHANKAR, J. AJAY DIGPAUL, J.
