She is aggrieved by the fact that amounts due to her by way of DCRG and other retirement benefits have not been disbursed to her so far. 2. Learned Special Government Pleader, on instruction, submits that delay is on account of the fact that a crime had been registered against the petitioner and it was closed only recently. Exhibit-P5 shows that the petitioner's pensionary claim except the DCRG was authorised by the Accountant General (A&E) on 27.1.2004 and that apparently in so far as the DCRG is concerned it was not sanctioned only for want of NLC from the G-Section of the Head Office. Mr. Manoj Kumar, learned Special Government Pleader submits that the 3rd respondent will issue orders sanctioning the DCRG also, without any further delay. Submission is recorded. This writ petition is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to pass orders sanctioning the DCRG due to the petitioner, as early as possible, at any rate, within a period of three months W.P ( C) No. 34277 of 2007 2 from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The said order shall then be forwarded to the 2nd respondent, without any further delay. The amounts due to the petitioner shall be disbursed on getting authorisation from the 3rd respondent in the manner aforementioned. Needful shall be done with as less delay as possible, at any rate, within four months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a representation before the 3rd respondent, for compliance. If the amounts due to the petitioner are not disbursed within the time mentioned above, such amounts will carry interest at 9% on the expiry of the four months time mentioned above.
