It was thereupon that this writ petition is filed. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that his provident fund has already been released, and after the filing of this writ petition, pension commutation also has been released, and what he now seeks is a direction to release the DCRG and arrears of D.A. 3. If as stated by the petitioner, he has retired from the service without liability whatsoever, there is no reason why the respondents shall not release his DCRG and arrears of D.A. 4.

This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, on production of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 2nd respondent for compliance.
