State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI Present:- None for the petitioner.

**** HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI , J. (ORAL) In the present writ petition, the grievance which has been raised by the petitioner is that though the petitioner has already retired from service on 31.05.2018 but the retiral benefits have not been released to her without any valid justification.

It has been mentioned in the petition that there is no proceeding pending against the petitioner, which would entitle the respondents to withhold her pensionary benefits. For the relief which has been sought in the present writ petition, the petitioner has served the respondents with a legal notice on 12.11.2018 (Annexure P-4) and as per the averments made in the writ petition, the said legal notice is still pending consideration with the respondents.
