IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.649 OF 2010 DATE OF DECISION: MARCH 09 ,2011 Ashok Kumar Gandhi .....Petitioner VERSUS The Managing Director, UHBVNL, Panchkula and others ....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH PRESENT: Mr. Suresh Kumar Redhu, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Praveen Gupta, Advocate, for the respondents. **** RANJIT SINGH, J. (ORAL) An amount of `9796/- has been recovered from the pensionary benefits of the petitioner. As per counsel for the petitioner, there is no justification for recovery of this amount as he had qualified the Safety Code Test as and when he was detailed. Otherwise, his grievance also is that his retiral benefits amounting to `5,57,986/- have been released with a delay of nearly 7 months. To explain this, counsel for the respondents would submit that there was a pay revision and some options were to be sought and on account of this process, some delay in release of payment of retiral dues has taken place. I find that there is no culpable delay in release of the retiral benefits. The amount withheld, however, would be refunded to the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of passing of this order. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of.
