IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 6647 of 2011 Date of decision: 13.09.2011 Hawa Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: None for the petitioner. Mr. Sunil Nehra, Sr. DAG, Haryana for the State. RANJIT SINGH J. Case called second time, no one appears for the petitioner. The petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking direction to release his pension, gratuity and commutation by pleading that he had retired from service on 30.04.2010. The respondents have withheld his pension and pensionary benefits on the ground that the complaint was made on behalf of the Junior Engineer, whose salary was withheld by the petitioner being absent. The petitioner claims that as per the inquiry held, he was found not guilty and the complaint was found false and fabricated. In the reply this aspect, however, has been disputed. It is stated that even in the preliminary inquiry, one of the allegation against the petitioner was established for which he has been charge sheeted. Accordingly, the gratuity and commutation of the pension has been withheld and other retiral benefits have been released. The provisional pension has also been allowed to the Civil Writ Petition No. 6647 of 2011 -2- petitioner. Since the charge sheet is pending against the petitioner, the action taken by the respondents is in accordance with law and would not call for any interference. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. September 13, 2011 ( RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
