IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 6112 of 1992. Date of Decision: 6th May, 2009. Kanihya Lal ....Petitioner through Mr. Sudhir Mittal, Advocate Versus State of Haryana & Ors. .Respondents through Mr. R.D.Sharma, DAG, Haryana. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT. 1. Whether Reporters of local papers 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? SURYA KANT, J. [ORAL) The petitioner has challenged the order of his premature retirement dated 12.2.1992. Alternatively, he seeks the release of post-retiral benefits. The petitioner joined the Department as a Patwari on 6.10.1952. He was later on promoted firstly as Kanungo and then as Revenue Kanungo followed by further promotion as Naib Tehsildar on 20.3.1975. The petitioner, however, was prematurely retired vide the impugned order purported to have been passed in 'public interest'. Counter-affidavit has been filed by the respondents defending their action in retiring the petitioner at the age of 55 years. During the course of hearing, learned State Counsel informs that all the retiral benefits which were found due have already been released in the petitioner's favour. As regard the petitioner's challenge to the order of premature retirement, I do not find any merit in the said challenge inasmuch as while ordering his premature retirement, the respondents have taken into consideration the adverse remarks conveyed to the petitioner as well as the pending disciplinary action. For the reasons afore-stated, while the writ petition qua the challenge to the order of premature retirement is dismissed, as regards the second relief, the same is disposed of with a direction that if any of the retiral benefits, to which the petitioner may be entitled, is still due, the petitioner shall be at liberty to make a representation for the release of the same. If any such representation is made, the same shall be considered and disposed of by the respondents, in accordance with law, within a period of three months. Disposed of. May 06, 2009.
