CWP No.15673 of 2009 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, Chandigarh. CWP No.15673 of 2009(O&M) Date of Decision: 12.09.2011 Sarabjit Kaur ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ....Respondents. Coram:- Hon'ble Mr. Justice Surya Kant Present: Mr. G.P.S. Bal, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Sudipti Sharma, DAG, Pb. for the respondents. ... Surya Kant, J.(Oral) Reply/affidavit filed by the respondents is taken on record. The pension case of the deceased husband of the petitioner, who was a Conductor in the Punjab Roadways has since been completed and sent to the Accountant General for sanction. Since the husband of the petitioner (Baldev Singh) unfortunately passed away on 12.11.1991, it is obvious that the petitioner is entitled to get family pension from the said date. Having regard to the above-mentioned stage and keeping in view the inordinate delay in releasing the retrial/ex-gratia, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to release all the monetary CWP No.15673 of 2009 2 benefits along with interest @ 7% p.a. within a period of four months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. Suffice it to mention that family pension shall also be fixed and released along with arrears thereof which shall carry interest at the same rate. Interest shall be paid till the date of releasing the aforesaid monetary benefits. ( Surya Kant ) Judge 12.09.2011 sk.
