Court No. - 33
                     HON'BLE DINESH PATHAK, J.

1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel
representing State-respondents and perused the record on Board.

2. This writ petition has been filed, inter alia, seeking the following reliefs:

     "(a). issue a writ or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding
     and directing the respondent no.3 to pay the interest of 7% on the late
     payment of arrears of pension of Rs.20,02643/-in favour of petitioner
     forthwith in accordance with law within stipulated period as directed by
     this Hon'ble Court.


     (b). issue a writ or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding and
     directing the respondent no.3 to take appropriate decision over the
     grievance of petitioners forthwith within stipulated period as directed by
     this Hon'ble Court."

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the claim of the present
petitioner for payment of the interest on delayed disbursement of pensionary
benefit is still pending consideration before respondent no.3, despite
repeated requests.

4. Learned Standing Counsel representing the State respondents no. 1 to 3
has contended that the grievance of the petitioner can be more appropriately
redressed by the Commissioner & Director of Industry U.P. Anubhag-3 (A)
Kanpur (respondent no.3) and he has no objection if a direction is issued for
expeditious disposal of the fresh representation, to be moved by the present
petitioner, within such stipulated period, as may be directed by this Court.

                                                                    2


                                    5. In this conspectus, as above, no useful purpose would be served by
                                    keeping this matter pending, therefore, this Court deems it appropriate to
                                    finally dispose of the present writ petition, without making any observation
                                    on the merits of the case, with liberty to the present petitioner to move a
                                    fresh representation before the Commissioner & Director of Industry U.P.
                                    Anubhag-3 (A) Kanpur (respondent no.3) to ventilate his grievances, as
                                    raised in this petition, within a period of three weeks from today, along with
                                    a certified copy of this order and a self attested copy of the instant writ
                                    petition, who, in turn, shall consider and decide the same in accordance with
                                    law expeditiously, preferably, within a period of three months from the date
                                    of production of the same, if there is no any other legal impediment.

                                    6. With the aforesaid observation, present writ petition is disposed of.

                                    May 6, 2026
