The present Writ Petition is filed aggrieved by the non- compliance of the orders passed in W.P.No.34555 of 2013, dated 05.02.2024 and due to non-consideration of the representation given by the Petitioner. 2. The Petitioner had retired from the service on 30.06.2002. As the Respondents are not considering the revised pension proposals of the Petitioner by permitting him to draw his eligible full pension as fixed by counting the period of service rendered by him from 02.12.1972 to 30.06.2002, the Petitioner had filed W.P.No.34555 of 2013 before this Court and this Court allowed the same, stating that the Petitioner is entitled to draw his full eligible pension as already fixed by counting the period of service of him from 02.12.1972 to 30.06.2002. The relevant portion of the order reads as under:- 16. As seen from the rule 14(2) Note (2) has been added by G.O.(P).No.242, F.&P.(FW-Pen-I) Dept., Dt.3.11.1998. It has to be considered to be prospectively applicable. The petitioner rendered service initially in an Aided Post and thereafter in an Un-Aided Post in the institution which also manages the School where the petitioner initially worked. The college where the petitioner worked in Un-Aided post was granted Aided Status on 16.04.1990. The petitioner continued till the date of attaining the age of superannuation. Note (2) cannot be made applicable to the case of the petitioner and as such the impugned proceedings deserves to be set aside and the petitioner is entitled for drawing his full eligible pension as was already fixed by counting the period of service of the petitioner from 02.12.1972 to 30.06.2002. 4 17. In the result, the writ petition is allowed, without costs by directing the respondents to refund the wrongfully recovered amount of Rs.6,56,053/- within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of the order. Failing which the respondents shall be liable to pay interest at 6% per annum from the date of last recovery on the total amount recovered. 3. Though, the Respondents have paid the amount as directed in the Writ Petition referred above, the pension was not re-fixed in terms of the orders passed by this Court. Thereafter, the Petitioner gave a representation to that effect, and as the representation given by the Petitioner is not being considered, the present Writ Petition is filed. 4. Learned Government Pleader for Higher Education as well as learned Standing Counsel appearing for Respondent No.4 submitted that the representation given by the Petitioner would be examined and a decision would be communicated to the Petitioner. 5.
