The grievance of the petitioner is that even after the grant of sanction for payment on account of gratuity, pension and commuted value of pension by the respondent – Accountant General as contained in Annexure- 6 series, the amount have not been paid to the petitioner till date for want of no dues certificate issued by the respondent no. 3.

In reply to the same learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner while in service requested several times to accept the charge but the same was not done. However, for expeditious disposal of his pending claims petitioner proposes to approach the respondent no. 3 in connection with handover of charge within a period of four weeks. In case petitioner approaches the respondent no. 3 along with certified copy of the present order, the necessary formalities for handing over the charge by the petitioner be completed and no objection certificate may also be issued.
