representations were not considered, the petitioners are before this Court. 3. He further contended that, in identical circumstances, a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court, in W.P.No.107063/2025 disposed of on 24.09.2025 has held as follows:
“1. The Petitioner is before this Court seeking for the following reliefs: a. Issue a writ of mandamus order or direction directing the 3rd respondent to stop recovery of the commuted value of pension beyond 12 years. Or In the alternative direct the R3 to release the additional commuted value of pension by calculating the 1/3rd commuted value of pension for a period of 15 years and to pay the arrears of commuted value of pension together with interest at 12% per annum from the date on which they were granted the commuted value of pension; and b. To consider the representation submitted by the petitioner dated 22.11.2024 (vide Annexure-E) in accordance with law, within a time frame specified by this Hon’ble Court.
c. To pass such other order as this Hon’ble Tribunal deems fit in the facts and circumstances of the case. - 17 -
HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:1745 WP No. 5625 of 2025 C/W WP No. 23448 of 2024 WP No. 34844 of 2024
2. The respondents proposing to recover the commuted value of pension beyond 12 years, the petitioner submitted the representation on 22.11.2024 at Annexure-E. The said representation has still not been considered but the respondents are proposing to recover the amount. It is in that background that the petitioner is before this Court seeking for the aforesaid reliefs. 3. Whenever any representation is submitted to any statutory authority or a governmental authority it is required for the said authority to consider the same and pass necessary orders within a reasonable period of time, either accepting or rejecting the same. Neither having been done, I pass the following;
ORDER i. The writ petition is allowed. ii. A mandamus is issued, directing the respondents to consider the representation dated 22.11.2024 submitted by the petitioner at Annexure-E within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

iii. Needless to say, until such representation is considered and order is passed no recovery can be made from the petitioner.”
4. The learned counsel for the petitioners also relied on a judgment of a Division Bench of this Court in W.A.No.255/2025 disposed of on 16.12.2025, wherein the State Government was
directed to consider the representations submitted by the appellant – Association.
5. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners will submit one more representation enclosing all these judgments.
6. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the following order is passed: (i) The writ petitions stand disposed of. (ii) The petitioners are permitted to submit additional representation, enclosing all these judgments within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

(iii) If such a representation is submitted, the competent authority is directed to dispose of the same within three months from date of receipt of a copy of the representation. (iv) Till then, the respondents are directed not to pass any order for recovery from the petitioners’ commuted value of pension.
