Heard Mr.T.Sellapandian, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr.S.Yashwanth, learned Additional Government Pleader for the 1 st respondent and Mr.A.N.R.Jayaprathap, learned Standing Counsel for the 2 nd respondent. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 32915 of 2025 3. The case of the petitioner is that he had joined service as Road Inspector (Highways) at Omalur Union, Salem District on 24.09.1981 and retired from service on 31.03.2019 at Paramathy Velur, having rendered 36 years of service. His last drawn wages were Rs.60,400/-. As per Pension Rule 43 in Sub-Rule 2(A)(1)(a), a Government Servant who retires after completing thirty years of qualifying service, is entitled to pension at 50% of the last pay drawn or 50% of the average emoluments of the last ten months, whichever is higher. 4. It is the grievance of the petitioner that though he is entitled to pension at Rs.30,200/-, the 2 nd respondent sanctioned only Rs.28,450/-. In this regard, the petitioner submitted a representation to the respondents on 09.01.2025, seeking revision of pension to Rs.30,200/- along with corresponding revision of gratuity and commutation amount, but no orders have been passed till date. Hence, he approached this Court by way of this writ petition. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 32915 of 2025 5. The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that it would be suffice if this Court issues a direction to the 2 nd respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner and pass orders. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and in view of the limited prayer sought for in this writ petition, this Court, without going into the merits of the matter, directs the 2 nd respondent to consider the case of the petitioner and pass orders on the representation submitted by the petitioner dated 09.01.2025 on its own merits and in accordance with law, within a period of twelve (12) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 7. In fine, the writ petition stands disposed of. However, there shall be no order as to costs. 02-09-2025 kak Index:Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order Internet:Yes Neutral Citation:Yes/No https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 32915 of 2025 To 1.The Divisional Engineer Highways ( C and M), Namakkal -637 001 2.The Accountant General Office Of The Accountant General (A & E ), Tamil Nadu, Chenani. https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis WP No. 32915 of 2025 A.D.JAGADISH CHANDIRA, J. kak WP No. 32915 of 2025 02-09-2025 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
