The petitioner retired on 30.04.2010 but till date, no retiral benefits have been released to the petitioner except the provisional pension, which is ` 1687/- per month. He contends that claiming the benefit of release of retiral benefits, the petitioner has submitted a representation dated 15.07.2010 (Annexure P-2) and thereafter, another representation dated 18.01.2011 (Annexure P-3) but till date, no decision thereon has been conveyed to the petitioner. C.W.P. No.10738 of 2011 2 Counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner, at this stage, would be satisfied if a direction is issued to the Managing Director, Punjab Small Industries and Export Corporation Ltd-respondent No. 2 to finalize the departmental proceedings initiated against the petitioner within some specified time and to decide his representations for release of retiral benefits. If that be so, without going into the merits of the case or commenting thereon, the present writ petition is disposed of with directions to the Managing Director, Punjab Small Industries and Export Corporation Ltd-respondent No. 2 to finalise the departmental proceedings, which were initiated against the petitioner, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. The decision, so taken, be conveyed to the petitioner forthwith. The claim of the petitioner for retiral benefits as submitted vide his representations dated 15.07.2010 (Annexure P-2) and 18.01.2011 (Annexure P-3) be considered and decided within a further period of two weeks. In case, the claim of the petitioner is accepted, the consequential benefits be released to the petitioner within a further period of four weeks. (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH ) June 03, 2011 JUDGE pj
