Hon'ble Shri Justice Goutam Bhaduri Order 17/07/2020

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, the petitioner has retired from service on 30th of June, 2018. Since he has retired from service w.e.f. 30.06.2018, he would be entitled for the annual increment that would be payable to him for the period between 1st of June, 2017 to 30th of June, 2018 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, 2018 has to be added to the last pay and other allowances also.

3. Learned State counsel submits that the State has taken a policy decision in this regard.

4. In view of such submission, it is directed that the petitioner will be at liberty to make a representation for his claim within a period of 3 weeks. Thereafter, on such representation being filed it shall be decided within a further period of 90 days from the date of receipt of a copy of the representation.

5. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition stands disposed of. Sd/- Goutam Bhaduri Judge Jyoti
