JUDGMENT
Dated this the 5th day of January 2021 The grievance of the writ petitioner herein is that though she had retired from the service, her terminal benefits have not been completely paid. Ext.P5 and P6 are the representations submitted by her before the Society. Ext.P5 representation was followed by Ext.P6 reminder seeking a release of eligible portion of the gratuity. Ext.P5 is dated 11.09.2020 and Ext. P6 is dated 28.12.2020. The petitioner laments that no decision has been taken on it even now. The limited prayer sought is for a direction to the respondents 1 to 3 to pass an order in a time bound manner.
2. Having considered the limited prayer sought by the petitioner and the urgency expressed by the learned Counsel for the petitioner, I am inclined to direct the respondents 1 to 3 to pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law, on Ext.P5 and Ext.P6 representations as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within a period of WP(C).No.173 OF 2021(V) 4 one month from the date of production of a copy of this judgment.
The writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
