According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner retired from service on 30th June,2019. Since the petitioner retired from service w.e.f. 30.06.2019, he would be entitled for the annual increment that would be payable to him for the period between 1st of June, 2018 to 30th of June, 2019 as the date of annual increment payable to the petitioner is 1 st 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, 2019 has to be added to the last pay and other allowances also. 3.

Given the said facts and circumstances of the case, let the concerned 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.
