(oral) The petitioner has prayed that direction be issued to the respondents to release his retiral benefits. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that although the petitioner has retired from the service of Municipal Council, Abohar on 30.4.2008 but his retiral dues have not been released. Mr. C.M. Sharma, learned counsel for respondent No.4 states that the financial position of respondent No.4 is not very sound and, therefore, the delay in paying the retiral dues is unavoidable. He also prays that respondent No.4 be given some extra time to pay the retiral dues of the petitioner. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, we are of the considered view that as the petitioner had retired on attaining the age of superannuation from Municipal Council, Abohar, therefore, he is CWP No.14069 of 2008 2 entitled to his retiral dues. However, keeping in view the financial status of respondent No.4, we direct respondent No.4 to pay all the retiral dues to the petitioner as admissible, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. It is made clear that the petitioner shall not be entitled to any interest on the payment due. Copy of this order be given dasti. (ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA) JUDGE (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE October 15, 2008 'rajpal'
