My father, along with several other retired government employees, has been waiting for their pension payments for months now. Despite numerous visits and follow-ups with the pension office, there has been no official explanation for the delay, and my father is really struggling to make ends meet. We’ve been hearing about this legal tool called a writ of mandamus, and we’re wondering if it can help in this situation.Can my father and the other retirees file a writ of mandamus to force the government to release their pension payments? What are the legal obligations of the government when it comes to processing pensions? We’d like to understand under what circumstances the court would issue a writ like this and whether the court would investigate why there’s been such a long delay.Also, what happens if the government doesn’t comply, even after the writ is issued? How does the writ of mandamus work to ensure that government agencies do their job, and what kind of legal remedy can we expect if we take this route?
