CW 1739/07 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN AT JAIPUR BENCH S.B. Civil Writ Petition No.1739/07 Dr. G.S. Shekhawat Versus State & Anr. DATE OF ORDER : 26/05/2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY RASTOGI Dr. Saugath Roy, for petitioner Mr. J.K. Agrawal, Addl. G.A., for State *** This matter pertains to release of pensionary benefits of Senior Citizen who served the State Government as Lecturer from 21st September, 1953 to 9th July, 1963 and absorbed in the University of Rajasthan w.e.f. 10th July, 1963. Only issue raised by petitioner is that he rendered total service of 9 years and 10 months in the State Government as Lecturer [Economics] and w.e.f. 10th July, 1963 he was absorbed in the University of Rajasthan, but benefits for service which he rendered in State of Rajasthan have not been extended to him and he placed reliance on the judgment of this court in Smt. Kamla Verma Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. [2006(6) RDD-3150]. Counsel submits that petitioner is entitled for the same relief which has been granted by this court in Smt. Kamla Verma Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. [supra] wherein petitioner also rendered service of 9 years and few months which is less than 10 years and in Para 6 of the judgment, relevant rules of RSR have been referred to where she was made entitled for grant of service gratuity and death-cum-retirement gratuity as per R.256 & 257 including New family CW 1739/07 [2] pension in terms of R.268-B(b) of RSR. Reply has been filed and the service which the petitioner had rendered in the State Government as Lecturer [Economics] has not been disputed. However, it has been averred that since he has not completed 10 years of service, as such, was not entitled for grant of pensionary benefits. The issue raised in the instant petition, in opinion of this court, is already settled by this court in Smt. Kamla Verma Vs. State of Rajasthan & Ors. [supra] and does not remain res integra for further examination. Accordingly, the writ petition stands allowed. Respondents are directed to consider the case of petitioner and release service gratuity and death-cum-retirement gratuity and later on New family pension under Chapters XXII & XXIII-A of RSR, by passing appropriate orders for sanction whereof within two months and after due computation, arrears be paid within one month thereafter. However, if respondents fail to make payment within the said period observed by this court, the amount, which is due and payable, thereafter will also carry interest @6%. No order as to costs.
