ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/12/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.31542 OF 2009 (K) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of December, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner retired as Deputy Tahsildar on 31.5.2000. Except provisional pension none of the other benefits including the DCRG has been paid. It is with this grievance the writ petition is filed. 2. Government Pleader on instructions submits that the reason for non-payment of the benefits as above is a pendency of Vigilance case. Admittedly, more than 3 years have elapsed since the retirement of the petitioner and therefore at this stage there cannot be fixation of any liability. Therefore, there is absolutely no reason for non-payment of DCRG and earned leave surrender to the petitioner. Accordingly I dispose of this writ petition directing that the DCRG and the earned leave surrender due to the petitioner shall be paid as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 6 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. In so far as the remaining claim for full pension is cornered, I leave it open to the petitioner to claim once the enquiry now pending is finalized. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WPC.No. /09 :2 :
