THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.22070 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner was employed in the A.P. State Civil Supplies Corporation Limited. She retired from service on 31.12.2008, on attaining the age of superannuation. However, her retirement benefits were not released, on the ground that the disciplinary proceedings are still pending against her. This Writ Petition is filed with a prayer to declare the action of the respondents in not releasing the retirement and pensionary benefits and to declare that the action of the respondents in conducting de novo enquiry, on the basis of the allegations made way back in the year 2002, as illegal and arbitrary. The respondents filed counter-affidavit, dealing with the various aspects. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. At the verge of the retirement of the petitioner, proceedings were initiated against her, that too, in relation to the matter, which was covered by earlier enquiries. This Court passed orders and made observations at various stages. Ultimately, through an order, dated 01.10.2010, the respondents have dropped the proceedings against the petitioner. Through order, dated 20.10.2010, they have also released gratuity of Rs.2,91,115/- and leave encashment for 233 days. The petitioner states that she is also entitled to be paid the pension. However, it is represented on behalf of the respondents that there is no facility of payment of pension to the employees of the Corporation. That, however, is the matter, which the petitioner can agitate through a separate representation. Now that substantial relief has been extended to the petitioner, nothing remains to be decided in this writ petition. It is accordingly closed. It is for the petitioner to pursue her claim, as regards payment of pension, duly citing the relevant provision of law under which she is entitled to. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.26.10.2010. GJ
