With the consent of both parties, this Writ Petition is taken

2. This Writ Petition is filed under Article 226 of the

Constitution of India, seeking the following relief:

“…to issue a writ or direction more particularly one in the nature of writ of

mandamus directing the respondents to release unpaid pension amount payable to the petitioner retired lecturer (PPO No.06-SGC-052993 / SP) for the period 1-4-2016 to 30-6-2017 by crediting the same to her Bank account by duly considering recommendation letter dated 29-10-2018 of Commissioner of Collegiate Education, Telangana Government by declaring the inaction of the respondents withholding the unpaid pension amount payable to the petitioner as illegal, arbitrary, unjust and violative of Article

14 and 21 of the Constitution of India and pass…”

3. Heard Sri L.Preetham Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioner; learned Government Pleader for Services-I for respondent No.1 to 3; and learned Government Pleader for

Services-III for respondent No.4.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was retired from services in the capacity of Lecturer (Telugu) and was drawing pension from respondent No.4-Office, which was being credited to his bank account. However, pension amount for

the period from 01.04.2016 to 31.06.2017 was not released on the ground that the petitioner had not updated the life certificate in respondent No.4-Office, though the same was submitted in November 2015. Therefore, the petitioner submitted an application on 12.07.2017. Subsequently, respondent No.3 addressed a letter dated 29.10.2018 to respondent No.2 requesting to accord sanction for payment of undrawn pension amount of Rs.7,53,547/- to the petitioner for the period from 01.04.2016 to 31.06.2017. However, no action has been taken by respondent No.2. As such, the petitioner submitted a representation to the respondents on 13.10.2025 requesting to release unpaid pension amount. However, no orders were passed by the respondents so far. Therefore, learned counsel prays this Court to direct the respondents to consider the representation dated 13.10.2025 submitted by the petitioner and release undrawn pension amount of Rs.7,53,547/- duly taking into account the letter dated

29.10.2018 addressed by respondent No.3 to respondent No.2.

5. Learned Government Pleader appearing for the respondents fairly submits that the respondents will consider the representation dated 13.10.2025 submitted by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders, in accordance with law.

6. Having regard to the submissions made by learned counsel for the respective parties, this Writ Petition is disposed of, directing the respondents to consider the representation dated 13.10.2025 submitted by the petitioner, duly taking into account the letter dated 29.10.2018 addressed by respondent No.3 to respondent No.2, and release the undrawn pension amount of Rs.7,53,547/-, to the petitioner, strictly in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of four (4) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this Writ Petition shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
