Sant Kaur ...Petitioner Versus State Bank of Patiala and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASBIR SINGH Present: Mr. T.P.S. Tung, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. H.S.Baath, Advocate, for respondent No.2. ***** JASBIR SINGH, J. (ORAL). Petitioner's husband was getting freedom fighter pension. After his death, as per policy of the State government, pension amount was released in favour of the petitioner. She had been continuously receiving the same. However, suddenly, respondent No.1 has stopped payment of pension amount to her. This writ petition has been filed with a prayer that direction be issued to respondent No.1, to release pension amount to the petitioner, lying deposited in her saving Account No.6500753816. She has also impleaded her son Jaswant Singh as respondent No.2. It is an admitted fact that respondent No.2 has filed a civil suit, to claim pension amount after the death of his father. Be that as it may, as on today, there is no order passed by any Competent Authority to stop payment of pension amount, to the petitioner. If that is so, respondent No.1 is not justified to stop the C.W.P. No.9235 of 2009 -2- payment of pension amount to the petitioner. After receipt of that amount from the Government, it is lying deposited in the saving bank account of the petitioner. In view of facts mentioned above, this writ petition is disposed of by issuing directions to respondent No.1, to release pension amount of the petitioner forthwith, except in case, respondent No.2 produces any order to the contrary, from a Competent Court. Needful be done within a period of 10 days from the date of receipt of copy of this order. Disposed of. July 21, 2009. ( JASBIR SINGH ) vinod JUDGE
