*** HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI , J. (ORAL) In the present writ petition, the grievance, which is being raised by the petitioner is that though he had retired on attaining the age of superannuation on 30.04.2019, but his pensionary benefits were withheld due to certain recoveries, which are to be made on account of shortage of Oil & Parts of distribution transformers. Counsel for the petitioner argues that the respondents themselves, vide order dated 22.07.2019 (Annexure P-2), have waived off the said outstanding amount and therefore, after passing of the said order, there is no impediment in the release of the pensionary benefits of the petitioner. The prayer of the petitioner is to direct the respondents to release the pensionary benefits forthwith.

Counsel for the petitioner states that for the relief, which has been sought in the present writ petition, petitioner has made a NARESH KUMAR 2019.11.05 14:51 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document Chandigarh
