The petitioner, who joined the services of the first respondent as Attender on 1.11.79, also worked as Assistant Secretary from 1.9.90. However, facing suspension on 9.2.2009, he suffered an order of termination on 20.7.2009. Aggrieved by the same, he filed a revision petition under Section 153 of the Tamil Nadu Co-operative Societies Act before the Joint Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Perambalur, which was also dismissed. Thereafter, it is his claim that the surcharge order passed against the petitioner by the second respondent was also, on being challenged, set aside by the learned Principal and Sessions Judge, Ariyalur on 29.11.2012. Subsequently, during November, 2015, he has claimed financial benefits, namely, provident fund, gratuity and earned leave salary. Thereafter, he has also sent a legal notice on 21.1.2016. As his representation is pending for a long time, he has come to this Court with the present writ petition on the ground that the dismissal order will not disqualify the petitioner from claiming the aforementioned benefits.

3. This Court, without going to the merits, hereby directs the respondents to consider and dispose of the pending representation of the petitioner on merits and in accordance with law within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. The writ petition stands disposed of accordingly. No costs.
