As such, no vigilance case is pending against the petitioner and therefore there is no question of completing the vigilance enquiry arises. As no vigilance enquiry/investigation has initiated/pending against him, Government have given direction to the Kerala Agricultural University to sanction all the remaining pensionary benefits, if any, due to him.” It is also averred in paragraph 3 that the Government issued appropriate direction to the Agricultural University and they have CO(C)No.706/10 -2- disbursed all the pensionary benefits.
