1. The grievance of the petitioner in the present writ petition is for grant of the benefit of one annual increment while fixing pension and other retiral dues payable to the petitioner.

2. According to the petitioner, he retired from service on 30.06.2020. Since he has retired from service w.e.f. 30.06.2020, he would be entitled for the annual increment that would be payable to him for the period between 1st of July, 2019 to 30th of June, 2020 as the date of

annual increment payable to the petitioner is 1st of July. Therefore, according to the counsel for the petitioner, while quantifying pension and other retiral dues, the annual increment which the petitioner became entitled for having worked till 30th June, 2020 has to be added to the last pay and other allowances.

3. Given the said facts and circumstances of the case, let the respondents consider the case of the petitioner for grant of one annual increment to the last salary which the petitioner has received for the purpose of quantifying pension and other retiral dues.
