**** HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI , J. (ORAL) In the present writ petition, the grievance which is being raised by the petitioner is that though he retired on 31.07.2018, but the pensionary benefits for which he is entitled for have been withheld only on the ground that he had gone on study leave on 22.01.1991 till 29.11.1991, which period has not been regularized so far. Counsel for the petitioner states that regularization of the said period is to be done by the respondents themselves and the respondents cannot delay the grant of benefits to the petitioner after his retirement only due to their inaction, which is totally attributable to the respondents themselves.

Counsel for the petitioner further states that for the relief which has been sought in the present writ petition, the petitioner has submitted a representation dated 14.01.2019 (Annexure P-9) to the NARESH KUMAR 2019.03.25 13:16 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh
