ORDER
Advocates are abstaining from Court work.
2. Present petition alleges disobedience due to non compliance of final order dated 01.03.2021 passed in WP. No.4793/2021 wherein following direction was passed:-
"Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, this writ petition is disposed off with direction to Divisional Pension Officer, Rewa Division, Rewa i.e. respondent No.3 to consider and decide the representation of petitioner and also consider the order passed by this Court in W.P. No.10240/2008 within a period of 30 days from the date of receipt of certified copy of the order passed today by passing a reasonable and speaking order.
Petitioner is directed to supply a copy of the order passed by this Court along with the decision relied upon by petitioner before the appropriate authority."
3. Respondents have filed reply on 02.11.2022 accompanied by Annexrure R/1 dated 31.10.2022 rejecting the claim of petitioner by passing aforesaid speaking and reasoned order. No rejoinder to the compliance report has yet been filed by petitioner and; therefore, this Court in the given facts and circumstances of the case deems it appropriate that compliance has been made.
