It is not under dispute that petitioner got retired way back in the year 2006. Pension was commenced much later on and till date arrears and other legally permissible dues are not paid. 4. Learned counsel for respondent has taken instruction that respondent will reconstruct the service book within short period of two weeks and will take all endeavour to clear the arrears and other dues within short period of three months. 5. Learned counsel for petitioner submits that he is satisfied if aforesaid submissions are honoured. 6. In the aforesaid circumstances, by putting the respondent on caution to protect the service book after its reconstruction, this writ petition is disposed of, taking note of above referred assurance given by learned counsel for respondent on basis of instruction given by concerned respondent.
