1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JODHPUR O R D E R S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.2238/2005 (Shyam Lal Mathur Vs. State of Raj. & Ors.) Date of order : 8.7.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS Mr. D.L.R. Vyas, for the petitioner. Mr. Rishi Vaishnav, Dy. Govt. Counsel. In this case, disputed question of facts with regard to delay in grant of pension is involved. The petitioner himself was working as Additional Director, he was supposed to fill up the pension forms and he was required to submit his pension form within time and was under obligation to complete all the requirements but as per the reply filed by the respondents he did not submit the No Objection Certificate in respect of vehicle loan loan taken by him and just before five days of retirement the said certificate was filed. The delay was caused for finalizing his case due to aforesaid reason. Learned counsel for the petitioner has invited attention of this Court towards judgments reported in 2005 (4) RDD 806 (Raj.) and 2004 (1) RLR 215. The facts of these cases are altogether different from the facts of the present case. 2 In this case the pensionary benefits were paid to the petitioner after eight months and the petitioner himself was working on the post of Additional Director and the judgment cited by the learned counsel for the petitioner are with regard to delay in payment of gratuity and the responsibility was fixed upon the department for delayed payment. Here in this case, the petitioner himself was working on the post of Additional Director and delay was caused due to his fault but he is claiming interest upon the delayed payment. The petitioner himself is responsible for delay of eight months caused in the payment of pension, therefore, I see no reason to disbelieve the reply given by the respondents. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. (GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS), J. arun
