CWP(T) No. 5446 of 2008 2.08.2010 Present: Mr. Rakesh Thakur, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. R. K. Sharma, Senior Additional Advocate General with Mr. Vivek Thakur, Add. Advocate General for the respondents/State. The original petitioner admittedly retired from service on 31.5.1997. At the time of his retirement he was working in the office of the Deputy Director (Agriculture), Chamba. There is no dispute that pension of the original petitioner was sanctioned and paid to him vide Bank Draft dated 10.2.1998. The other retiral benefits also stand paid to him. The delay occurred for the reason that the office of the Senior Dy. Accountant General, H.P. had sought clarification with regard to the original petitioner’s leave for the period 4.6.85 up to 14.7.89 with respect to which, admittedly disciplinary proceedings had been initiated by the State. The State by taking a lenient view had let off the original petitioner by imposing lesser penalty. The concern of the Sr. Deputy Accountant General was bonafide. Thus it cannot be said that there has been any inordinate delay in finalization of the original petitioner’s pension and release thereof. 2. From the record it could not be pointed out as to how any legally enforceable right of the petitioners stands violated. The present petition devoid of any merit is dismissed. (Sanjay Karol), Judge.
