...Petitioner

Versus

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

**** HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI , J. (ORAL) Counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner retired on 28.02.2018. On the said date, there was an FIR No.126 dated 17.06.2003, which was pending against the petitioner.

Counsel for the petitioner further states that after the retirement of the petitioner, he was acquitted in respect of the said FIR on 14.03.2018 and thereafter, there is no impediment in the release of the pensionary benefits of the petitioner. Further, though the petitioner has already informed about the said development to the respondents, vide letter dated 06.01.2019 (Annexure P-2), but no action has been taken by the respondents for the grant of the said benefit to the petitioner and it is very difficulty for him to survive in these hard days without the release of the retiral benefits.
