(Oral) The petitioner seeks quashing of the charge-sheet dated 24.3.2011 (Annexure P-7). It is averred that the petitioner was due to retire w.e.f. 31.3.2011 on attaining the age of age of superannuation. However, two days before his retirement, he was served with a charge-sheet dated 24.3.2011 (Annexure P-7). The petitioner submitted his reply on 10.4.2011 (Annexure P-8), however, no action appears to have been taken thereupon so far. The petitioner alleges that his pension has been stopped by the respondent-authorities. CWP No.9774 of 2011 [2] Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the fact that the petitioner's pension has been stopped, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the respondents to consider and dispose of the petitioner's reply to the charge- sheet by passing a speaking order within a period of one month from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. In case the respondents decide to continue with the disciplinary proceedings, the petitioner shall be at liberty to challenge the same in accordance with law. However, the petitioner's pensionary benefits shall not be with-held. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. May 30, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
