SANDESH RAJA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/03/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W.P(C) No. 7426 of 2011 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 25th day of March, 2011. J U D G M E N T The petitioner retired as an Assistant Sub Inspector of Police on 30.4.2008. Pursuant to involvement in a criminal case, the petitioner was suspended from service. Disciplinary proceedings were also initiated against the petitioner, which ultimately resulted in withholding of Rs.100/- from his pension for a period of 3 years. The petitioner's grievance in this writ petition is that the retirement benefits due to the petitioner have not been disbursed. The petitioner therefore seeks the following reliefs: “(i) Direct the respondents to take all necessary steps to disburse the withheld pensionary benefits of the petitioner within a short time frame. (ii) direct the 3rd respondent to do all the needful for giving the pending increments and fixation of pay etc the petitioner within a short time frame.” 2. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also, who would submit that the delay is on account of the fact that orders regarding regularisation of suspension period has not been issued and proceedings are pending in respect of the same. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with the following directions: The 1st respondent shall pass orders on the question of regularisation of the period of suspension of the petitioner as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date W.P(C) No. 7426 of 2011 -: 2 :- of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Retirement benefits due to the petitioner shall be disbursed within a further period of one month therefrom. Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge. Tds/ [TRUE COPY] P.S TO JUDGE.
