Versus

Food Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs, Punjab and another ....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 of the petitioner is that he has retired on 30.09.2016 after rendering more than 34 years service, but his pensionary benefits have not been released so far and that too without valid justification.

It has been mentioned in the petition that there is no impediment in the release of the pensionary benefits as there is no proceeding pending against the petitioner which would entitle the respondents to withhold the same in any manner. For the relief, which has been sought in the present writ petition, the petitioner has submitted a representation dated 18.12.2018 (Annexure P-2), which is still pending consideration with the respondents.
