CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA.
HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA.

ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J.(ORAL)
The grievance of the petitioners is that although their gratuity
and commutation of pension have been sanctioned vide orders (Annexures
P-1 to P-3), but the same have not been released to them till date. Learned
counsel submits that directions be issued to the respondents to release them
the sanctioned amount of gratuity and commutation of pension.
After hearing learned counsel for the petitioners, we dispose of
this writ petition with a direction to respondent No.2 to release the gratuity
and commutation of pension to the petitioners in terms of Annexures P-1 to
P-3 expeditiously, preferably, within three months from the date of receipt
of certified copy of this order, if there is no other legal impediment. While
deciding the case of the petitioners, the competent authority may also
consider whether the petitioners are entitled to any interest or not.
