G.Ravichandran v. The Managing Director

ORDER This Writ Petition has been filed for the following reliefs:- "to consider the petitioners representations dated 14.2.2025 and to direct the respondents to pay interest of 12 percentage p.a for delay of 420 days till the date of order in releasing petitioner pension amount."

¶2The case of the petitioner is that he had joined the services of the respondent Corporation as a Conductor and, after rendering 30 years of unblemished service, retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation on 30.06.2018. The main grievance of the petitioner is that, though he had retired from service as early as 30.06.2018, his terminal benefits were settled belatedly only on 31.08.2019, contrary to the Pension Rules, and without Page3 of 5 payment of any interest. Therefore, the petitioner had submitted a representation dated 14.02.2025, seeking interest for the belated settlement of the terminal benefits. However, the said representation has not been considered to date. Hence, the present Writ Petition.

¶3Heard the learned counsel on either side.

¶4Considering the limited relief sought for by the petitioner and taking note of the fact that the petitioner's representation dated 14.02.2025 has not been considered to date, the Writ Petition is allowed. The respondents are directed to consider and pass orders on the petitioner's representation dated

14.02.2025, on merits and in accordance with law, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. 06-03-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order SHR Page4 of 5 To
