(2.) The operative portion of the order dated 25.6.2015 passed in W.P.S. No. 2470 of 2008 is as under:- "In the wake of the aforesaid facts and circumstances, the stand of the respondents does not appeal to reason. The conduct of the respondentsemployer and the CMPF in making deductions from the salary of the petitioner for the period of almost 26 years and thereafter payment of Pension to the petitioner after his retirement in 2003 till the year 2007 itself indicates that the petitioner was treated to be member of the Coal Mines Family Pension Scheme 1971 and also deemed to have continued under the CMPS 1998. In the aforesaid circumstances, the respondent CMPF should process the admissible claim of the petitioner on account of the CMPS 1998 for the payment of pension to the petitioner in accordance with law. Let such exercise be conducted within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Needless to say, the petitioner shall co-operate in the matter. If any amount received earlier by him is to be refunded by him, he should deposit the amount specified by the CMPF in order to process his claim and make payment of pension. Accordingly, impugned order dated 10.1.2008 is quashed and the writ petition is allowed in the aforesaid terms."
