...Petitioner

Versus

State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI Present:- Mr. Munish Garg, Advocate, for the petitioner.

**** HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI , J. (ORAL) In the present writ petition, the grievance of the petitioner is that though she has already retired on attaining the age of superannuation on 31.12.2017, but the pensionary benefits for which he is entitled for have not been released to him so far and that too without any valid justification.

Learned counsel for the petitioner states that there is no impediment in the release of the pensionary benefits as there are no proceedings pending against the petitioner either departmental or before any Competent Court of Law, which would entitle the respondents to withhold the pensionary benefits. The prayer of the petitioner is for issuance of a direction to the respondents to release his retiral benefits forthwith alongwith interest on the delay on the release.
