J U D G M E N T Radhakrishnan, J. The appellant had retired from service on 31.5.2002. Disciplinary proceedings were initiated against her just before the retirement. She seeks for a direction to the 2nd respondent to issue Non Liability Certificate to enable her to receive retirement benefits like DCRG, leave salary and commuted value of pension etc. However, we find that disciplinary proceedings are pending against the appellant for the last several years. Therefore, we are inclined to direct the 2nd respondent to complete the disciplinary proceedings within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Writ Appeal is disposed of as above. K.S.Radhakrishnan, Judge. T.R.Ramachandran Nair, Judge. Kvs/-
