Order on Board

08.12.2020.

1. The grievance of the petitioner in the present writ petition is non releasing

of payment of gratuity due to the petitioner on his retirement and also non

releasing of 10 percent of the pension which has again been retained by

the respondents while releasing 90 percent.

2. According to the petitioner, he stands retired w.e.f. 31.03.2020. It is the

further contention that on the date of his retirement he was not subjected

to any disciplinary proceedings in as much there was no charge sheet

issued or a departmental enquiry pending. Neither is there any such

proceedings which has been issued or initiated subsequent to his

retirement and there is no good reason for not releasing gratuity and the

balance of 10 percent of pensionary amount.

3. Given the limited contention that the petitioner has made, the writ petition

at this juncture stands disposed of directing the respondents No.2 to 4 to

-2-

immediately process the claim of the petitioner so far as release of his

gratuity and balance of 10 percent of pension is concerned in accordance

with law at the earliest preferably within a period of 90 days from the date

of receipt of copy of this order.

4. The writ petition accordingly stands disposed of.
