Versus

State of Haryana and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI Present:- Mr. Shashi Kant Chauhan, Advocate for the petitioner.

**** HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI , J. (ORAL) In the present writ petition, the grievance of the petitioner is that though he retired on 31.03.2017, but due to the pendency of a charge-sheet which was issued on 04.07.2016, all the pensionary benefits for which the petitioner becomes entitled on his retirement, has not been released.

Counsel for the petitioner argues that non-finalization of the enquiry by the respondents is causing prejudice to the petitioner as he has not been released the pensionary benefits without which he is not able to survive properly after his retirement.

Counsel for the petitioner prays that appropriate directions be issued to the respondents for deciding the above-said charge-sheet in a time bound manner.
