As far as commuted value of pension is concerned, going by the Division Bench decision, the petitioner has to stand in the queue in accordance with the priority of retirement. However, the Provident Fund and Staff Welfare Fund amounts are amounts deducted from the petitioner's salary, which belongs absolutely to him, payment of which cannot be postponed on his retirement. The learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents submits that those amounts would be disbursed within a period of two months. This submission is recorded and the writ petition is closed. S.
