The learned counsel for the petitioner, while reiterating the averments made in the affidavit filed in support of this Writ Petition, submits that the Petitioner was appointed as “Badli (Substitute) Sanitary worker in the Rajapalayam Municipality in the year 1989. The petitioner already served for succession period before the Respondents and she is entitled for gratuity, pension, leave salary and other monetary benefits. But, the Respondents are not paying the same to the petitioner and she has already retired from service on 30.06.2017. In this regard, the petitioner has made several representations to pay the above retiral dues and in this regard, the last representation was given on 26.06.2023 to the 4th Respondent and a copy of the same is also filed before this Court. But inspite of above representation, the Respondents are sitting tide over the matter and were not paying the retiral dues to the petitioner. 5. Mr. P. Mahendran, learned counsel for the 4 th Respondent, submits that the Petitioner had a break in service and was given a fresh appointment on 12.09.2012, from which he retired on 30.06.2017 and that earlier the Petitioner was worked for some years. He further submits that the Petitioner is not entitled to the monetary benefits claimed in this Writ Petition. However, Mr.P.Mahendran did not dispute the fact that the Petitioner had made several representations, with the most recent one dated 26.06.2023. He submitted that, despite the grievance, the Petitioner may file a fresh representation with the 4 th Respondent, which would be considered and decided in accordance with law through a reasoned and speaking order. 6. Mr.D.Sadiq Raja, the learned Additional Government Pleader for the Respondents 1 to 3 supports the argument as advanced by the learned counsel for the 4 th Respondent. 7. After considering the submissions made by the learned counsels for both parties and perusing the records and averments made in the Writ Petition, this Court deems it appropriate that no useful purpose will be served in keeping this Writ Petition pending before this Court. 7.
