SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ----------------------------------- W.P(c)No.25380 of 2011 --------------------------------- Dated this the 12th day of October, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioner retired from service on 30.04.2011. The petitioner complains that his pensionary benefits have not been paid so far. According to the petitioner, he is entitled to the arrears of pension, DCRG, commuted value of pension, arrears of dearness allowance etc. Therefore, he seeks the issue of appropriate directions for payment of all the arrears. 2. A statement has been filed on behalf of the third respondent. According to the third respondent, the petitioner is paid pension from 30.04.2011. However, other payments could not been made because of financial constraints faced by the third respondent. All efforts would be made to see that the amounts due to the petitioner are paid within a period of 4 months, it is submitted. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is facing acute financial problems because even his pension is not being paid. Therefore, he prays that the arrears W.P(c)No.25380 of 2011 2 due by way of pension at least may be disbursed within a period of one month. 4. Having considered the rival contentions, I am of opinion that this Writ Petition can be disposed of directing the third respondent to pay to the petitioner all the pensionary benefits due to him, as expeditiously as possible at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. sd/- K.
