IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civl Writ Petition No.18096 of 2011 Date of Decision : September 26, 2011. Kartar Kaur .....Petitioner versus State of Punjab and others .....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT. Present : Ms.Gagandeep Kaur, Advocate, for the petitioner. -.- 1. Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner retired from the post of D.P.E. in the Education Department, Punjab, w.e.f. 31.01.2011 on attaining the age of superannuation. Her grievance is that the retiral benefits including G.P.F., G.I.S., A.C.P., arrears of pay etc. have not been released so far. From the averments made in the writ petition, there appears to be no rhyme or reason or legal impediment for not releasing the retiral dues timely. It further appears from the correspondence between the Principal of the Government Senior Secondary School, Jaga Ram Tirth, District Bathinda and the District Education Officer (S), Bathinda (AnnexureP-1) that the authorities are shifting the responsibility on each other for non- CWP No.18096 of 2011 [2] completion of the records. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the service records of the petitioner is already complete and yet pensionary benefits have been withheld. In these circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent Nos.2 to 4 that if there is no legal impediment in releasing the retiral benefits of the petitioner, the same be released forthwith but not later than two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order, alongwith interest @ 6% per annum w.e.f. 1.5.2011 till the actual realization. Ordered accordingly. Dasti. September 26, 2011 (SURYA KANT) Mohinder JUDGE
