HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.28090 OF 2009 ORDER: The petitioner was retired from service on 30-04-2008 by taking voluntary retirement as Divisional Engineer from the 1st respondent organization. His grievance is that respondents are not releasing the terminal benefits and pension. 2. In the counter affidavit filed by the respondents, it is stated that the wife and the alleged daughter of the petitioner filed O.P. No.75 of 2008 in the Family Court – cum – III Additional District Judge, Warangal and in I.A. No.124 of 2008, the Family Court passed an order restraining the respondents from releasing the retirement benefits of the petitioner to an extent of Rs.15,80,000/-. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. 4. Petitioner is, no doubt, entitled to be paid the retirement benefits. However, the respondents were restrained from releasing the same under the order dated 01-05-2008. Petitioner could have sought for modification of the order passed by the Family Court. Be that as it may, in case, the petitioner is entitled to be paid any amount over and above Rs.15,80,000/-, there is no reason why the respondents withhold it. 5. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing that the respondents shall calculate the retirement benefits, payable to the petitioner and if it exceeds Rs.15,80,000/-, they shall release the excess amount, forthwith to the petitioner. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J December 16, 2010. KTL
