IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.7727 of 2011 R.C.Bharti Vs. State of Haryana & others Present: Mr.Virender Kumar, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RANJIT SINGH, J. The petitioner was issued a show cause notice for dismissal, which, he has challenged by filing a civil suit. During the pendency of the civil suit, the petitioner became due for superannuation and was accordingly retired. Civil suit has been decreed and the show cause notice has been quashed. Not only that, the petitioner has been held entitled to compensation of ` 1.00 lac, which is also made recoverable from the respondents. The respondents have filed an appeal against the said order, where, as per the petitioner, notice qua compensation alone has been issued. He has now filed this writ petition to seek release of his retiral benefits. Since the petitioner has already invoked the jurisdiction of a civil court, it would be appropriate for him to approach the same forum for release of pensionary benefits as well because that court will be in a better position to hear both the cases together and pass an appropriate order. The petitioner, if so advised, may invoke the jurisdiction of a civil court. The writ petition, in view of these peculiar facts, is dismissed. May 03, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) ramesh JUDGE
