(Oral) The petitioner retired from the post of Senior Lab Technician w.e.f. 30.04.2011 on attaining the age of superannuation. He has not been paid the amount of GPF for no reason whatsoever. His representation has also failed to take the authorities out of slumber, compelling him to approach this Court. Since no reason whatsoever has been assigned for withholding the petitioner's GPF amount, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondent Nos.2 & 3 to ensure that the GPF amount of the petitioner is released forthwith, if there is no legal impediment, alongwith interest in terms of Rule 13.13 of the Punjab Civil CWP No.16897 of 2011 [2] Services Rules. Ordered accordingly. The needful shall be done within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Dasti. September 09, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
