ORDER
When the Writ Petition is taken up for hearing, and while looking into the factual position, this Writ Petition has been filed claiming disbursal of the retirement benefits to the petitioner.
2. Learned Addl.G.P. appearing for the respondents submitted that the respondents have already settled whatever the amounts that are eligible to the petitioner. But, certain amounts had been with-held by them on account of the pendency of the enquiry/surcharge proceedings under Section 81 of the Tamil Nadu Co-operative Societies Act.
3. When the Writ Petition was paused over and taken up again, there was no representation for the petitioner.
4. However, looking into the materials available on record, it is seen that the petitioner has made a representation to the respondents on 03.07.2023 and the same has not been so far considered by the respondents.
5. Learned Addl.G.P. also submitted that they would consider the petitioner’s representation on its own merits and in accordance with law.
6. In view of the above position, without going into the merits of the matter, this Court directs the respondents to consider the said representation of the petitioner, dated 03.07.2023 on its own merits and in accordance with law, within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of this order by the respondents.
7. With the above direction, this Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, the miscellaneous petition is closed. 21-09-2026 cs To
