List this matter next week.” 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is entitled for pension on higher wages as claimed and as the same was not settled by the respondents, their inaction has been challenged in the writ petition and that by order, dated 25.04.2025, in W.P.No.9063 of 2 2025, direction was given to the respondents 2 to 4 to consider the representation and pass appropriate orders, however, they have not settled the pension, considering the higher wages. 3. Learned counsel for the respondents, on the other hand, submits that petitioner has now been found to be eligible for higher wages so also for higher pension and that notice has been issued to his employer for payment of the employer’s contribution and once petitioner also makes matching contribution in terms of the Employees Pension Scheme, 1995, pension would be re-billed and paid. 4. In that view of the matter, as already necessary steps have been taken for compliance of the directions of this Court, the Contempt Case stands closed. No order as to costs. As a sequel, miscellaneous petitions pending consideration, if any, in this case shall stand closed. _____________________________ JUSTICE CHALLA GUNARANJAN Date:19.12.2025. cs
