His grievance is that his full pension and other benefits are not released so far. Reason appears to be that while he was in service, he was involved in a vigilance case, as a result of which, he was placed under suspension for the period from 21/12/96 to 22/4/98, which has not been regularised so far. 2. The other grievance is that by Ext.P4 show cause notice, he was called upon to show cause why recovery from his pension at the rate of Rs.200/- shall not be effected, to which he has filed Ext.P5 reply. This proceedings also remains incomplete. 3. From the above, therefore it can be seen that regularisation of suspension period and finalisation of the proceedings pursuant to Ext.P4 are the reasons for the non payment of full pension and release of other benefits and these proceedings will have to be finalised by the 1st respondent. 4. In view of the above, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 1st respondent to finalise the proceedings mentioned WPC 28554/09 :2 : above with notice to the petitioner and as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within three months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner to produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the 1st respondent for compliance. Needless to say that once proceedings are finalised as above, consequential benefits shall be released without further delay. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
