No.2, seek mandamus directing the respondent authorities to give
pension as well as other retiral benefits with interest at the rate of
18% per annum.
(2.)PENDING the petition, the petitioners had moved Civil Appication No.4435 of 2013 seeking amendment to place on record Government

take instructions as to whether the case of the petitioners is covered
by the circular of the Government dated 1.12.2009 as the petitioners
are similarly situated to the employees in whose case pension was
sanctioned under the said circular.
(3.)TODAY , when the matter is taken up for hearing, learned Assistant Government Pleader Mr. Maheta stated before the Court
that the case of the petitioners are covered under the above-said
circular and they are similarly situated to the employees who have
been given pension benefits under the said circular. He further states
that on the respondent No.2 Municipality submitting pension papers
to the Local Fund Accounts Office, Junagadh, the petitioners are also
to be given similar treatment by sanctioning pension in their favour.
