P.C.:
. The Petitioners have relied upon the decision of this Court in
Writ Petition No. 4748 of 2019 dated 1 October 2021 which itself
referred to several decisions of this Court rendered earlier. According
to the Petitioners, the Petitioners have worked as Librarians or
Assistant Teachers prior to 1 November 2005. It is not that
Petitioners cannot get any relief as per the old pension scheme but
the same is based on certain conditions. However, we note that the
Petitioners have directly approached this Court without making any
prayer to the Respondent Authorities regarding the prayers made in
these Petitions.

2. We therefore dispose of these Petitions permitting the
Petitioners to apply to concerned authorities. The Petitioners will
annex to the applications, the decisions of this Court. The concerned
authority upon receipt of the Petitioners’ representations /
applications, will deal with the decisions so cited and pass reasoned
orders. We make it clear that if the Respondent authorities ignore the
decisions of this Court while passing the order or seek to distinguish
them on untenable grounds, the Court will view such an act with
seriousness. If the representations are made within a period of 2
weeks, the Respondent Authorities will take a decision within a
period of 10 weeks thereafter subject to earlier time bound
commitments and pressing public duties.
3. The learned AGP states that the decision of the Writ Petition
No. 4748 of 2019 is challenged by the State Government. However,
we are neither informed that there is an interim order. Also the
decision in Writ Petition No. 4748 of 2019 has not taken a view at
the first instance. It has followed the decisions laid down by this
Court over a period of time and we are not informed that these
decisions are subject matter of challenge before the Hon’ble Supreme
Court.
