Respondents. ----------- 3. 14.05.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Admittedly, all the other retiral benefit of the petitioner to his satisfaction has already been paid except the finalization of the monthly pension which according to the petitioner was only being paid by way of provisional pension. Counsel for the State submits that as per the instruction received in the year 2006, the petitioner was being given provisional pension but then in a span of last four years he is not sure as to whether such provisional pension has been finalized or not. In the opinion of this Court, once the provisional pension was being paid to the petitioner and if there is nothing adverse against the petitioner, he would be entitled 2 for payment of his full pension. That being so, this Court would direct the competent authority to ensure that if the provisional pension of the petitioner, if not already finalized, must be finalized and both arrears and current must be paid within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this writ petition is disposed of. kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
