Counsel for the respondents points out that the pension of the petitioner has since been released. It is also pointed out that the case of the petitioner for grant of increments could only be considered, if the petitioner is first allowed to cross the efficiency bar. The order vide which the petitioner was not allowed to cross the efficiency is not put to challenge. The petitioner is at liberty to file a fresh petition to challenge the order whereby he was denied to cross the efficiency bar. However, it is directed that the pension of the petitioner shall be subsequently released. The present petition is disposed of accordingly. January 12, 2011 (RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
