                                   JUDGMENT

(Dated: 5th April, 2024)

The petitioners are the retired employees of the 1st respondent

corporation. They have filed Exts.P11 to P19 representations before the

1st respondent based on the provisional/daily wage service, for

regularising the pension benefits in view of the directions contained in

the judgment of Apex Court in Ext.P10.

2. Heard counsel on either side.

3. Learned standing counsel for the respondents submits that four

months time is required for consideration of the representations.

Having considered the rival submissions from the Bar, since the

representations were filed in the month of March 2024, I dispose of this

writ petition directing the 2nd respondent to take up Exts.P11 to P19

representations and pass appropriate orders, within four months from

the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment.

The writ petition is disposed of.
