**** HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI , J. (ORAL) In the present writ petition, the grievance which is being raised by the petitioner is that he retired from Nagar Council, Gidderbaha, District Sri Muktsar Sahib on 31.12.2018 and even after an expiry of approximately five months, no benefit for which the petitioner is entitled for after his retirement has been extended to him. Counsel for the petitioner argues that there is no impediment for the release of the pensionary benefits as no departmental enquiry or any other proceeding is pending against the petitioner, which would entitle the respondents to withhold the benefits. Counsel for the petitioner states that for the relief which has been sought in the present writ petition, the petitioner has submitted the representations (Annexures P-1 to P-4), which are still pending consideration with the respondents and the petitioner will be satisfied, at NARESH KUMAR 2019.05.31 14:40 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh
