State of Haryana and others, ...... Respondent(s) *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. P.L.Verma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Harish Rathee, Sr. DAG Haryana for the respondents. *** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) By way of this writ petition, the petitioner seeks commutation of her pension. She was placed under suspension as an FIR was registered against her. She retired during suspension on 31.5.1999. She was ultimately acquitted in September 2003. Thereafter, her entire suspension period was regularized and after giving her all the benefits, the retiral dues were released to her before September 2004 i.e within less than one year. Till today, the petitioner has been getting her full pension. Thus, the fact remains that in 2004, the petitioner was given arrears of five years' pension C.W.P No. 8483 of 2006 ::2:: etc. and thereafter for the last five years, she has been getting her full pension. In my opinion, no case for commutation of pension has been made out, in view of these facts. As regards the claim for interest, it would be seen that considering the circumstances in which the petitioner was retired, it cannot be said that there was such undue delay in finalizing her claim so as to entitle her to interest. No merit. Dismissed. ( AJAY TEWARI ) May 14, 2009. JUDGE `kk'
