WP(C) 5013/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE T VAIPHEI Heard Mr K Bhattacharjee, the learned counsel for the petitioner. Also heard Mr BK Sharma, the learned Standing counsel, Social Welfare Department-resp ondents No. 1,2 and 5, Mrs R Sinha, the learned counsel, appearing for the respo ndents No. 3,4 and 6, Mr D Baruah, the learned counsel, appearing for respondent s No. 7 and 8 and Ms A Verma, the learned Standing counsel for the respondent No . 9. The learned counsel for the respondent No. 9, drawing my attention to th e letter dated 21.08.2011 issued by the respondent No. 9 submits that the pensio n could not be released as the petitioner has not personally appeared before him and that the Treazury Officer, Kokrajhar has not issued drawal/non-drawal certi ficate from the Programme officer, Divisional ICDS Cell, Kokrajhar. The petitioner is aggrieved by the non-payment of the provisional pensio n as well as the provisional gratuity though he had already retired from service on 31.01.2011. In my opinion, in the light of this letter, the writ petition d oes not survive for consideration. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of by directing the Programme Officer, Divisional ICDS Cell, Kokrajhar to issue dr awal/non-drawal certificate to the petitioner without any loss of time and withi n fifteen days from the date of receipt of this order. The petitioner, on recei pt of the drawal/non-drawal certificate, will personally appear before the respo ndent No. 9, who will then take immediate steps for release of the provisional p ension as well as provisional gratuity to him without further delay. The letter dated 21.10.2011 issued by the respondent No. 9 is marked as ’X’ and is hereby made a part of the record. No order as to costs.
