Veer Bhan        is an unfortunate<\/p>\n<p>husband of Pushpa Lata, who while working as S.D.C. under<\/p>\n<p>respondent No.2, had died after prolonged illness. She was<\/p>\n<p>paralysed. Prior to her death, she had sought voluntarily retirement<\/p>\n<p>on attaining the age of 54 years in the year 2004. Since she was<\/p>\n<p>suffering from paralysis, she could not visit the office to sign the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No.4368 of 2009                   :2 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>papers. The necessary documents for release of retiral benefits also<\/p>\n<p>remained pending due to non-sanction of sick leave for the period<\/p>\n<p>she could not attend the office. On 13.3.2007, a request was made to<\/p>\n<p>respondent No.2 to give details of necessary formalities required to<\/p>\n<p>be completed for grant and release of the retiral benefits. Pushpa<\/p>\n<p>Lata, however, died on 9.5.2007.\n<\/p>\n<p>            An application for commutation of pension was submitted<\/p>\n<p>but was returned on 17.9.2008 by observing that the petitioner had<\/p>\n<p>expired on 9.5.2007 before sending the application. What could the<\/p>\n<p>husband do?. He was in no position to make his wife sign as she was<\/p>\n<p>no more. He is a legal heir entitled to the pensionary claims. The<\/p>\n<p>petitioner served a legal notice which was rejected on 24.11.2008. It<\/p>\n<p>is stated that late Pushpa Lata never applied for commutation of<\/p>\n<p>pension before her death and, thus, the petitioner, who is a husband,<\/p>\n<p>is not entitled to the commuted value of the pension under Rule<\/p>\n<p>11.16 of Punjab CSR Vol.-II as applicable to Haryana.<\/p>\n<p>            What an attitude by a welfare State. Instead of realising<\/p>\n<p>their responsibility to pay the retiral benefits to the legal heir-husband<\/p>\n<p>of late Pushpa Lata, the respondents would choose the contest the<\/p>\n<p>writ petition as well. It is conceded that Pushpa Lata had sought<\/p>\n<p>voluntarily retirement from the service on 31.7.2006, which was<\/p>\n<p>allowed. It is also conceded that she had an option to commute for a<\/p>\n<p>lump-sum payment of any portion, not exceeding 40% of eligible<\/p>\n<p>pension. It is then stated that the commutation          value could be<\/p>\n<p>released if the application was submitted within one year from the<\/p>\n<p>date of retirement. It is then pointed out that the late wife of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner sought voluntarily retirement on 31.7.2006 and she expired<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No.4368 of 2009                  :3 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>on 9.5.2007 before signing and submitting the application for<\/p>\n<p>commutation value of pension. It is also pointed out that the<\/p>\n<p>application was signed and submitted by her husband (the petitioner)<\/p>\n<p>after the death of his wife and, thus, he is not entitled for commuted<\/p>\n<p>value of the pension. Reference is made to Rule 11.16 of Punjab<\/p>\n<p>CSR Vol.-II, which reads as under:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>           &#8220;If the petitioner dies on or after the day on which<\/p>\n<p>           commutation became absolute but before receiving the<\/p>\n<p>           commutation value, this value shall be paid to his heirs.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>           How the provisions of Rule 11.16 can be invoked to deny<\/p>\n<p>payment of commuted value of the pension is not understood. This<\/p>\n<p>rule rather makes a provision for payment of commuted value of<\/p>\n<p>pension to the heirs. If a pensioner dies on or after the day on which<\/p>\n<p>the commutation became absolute but before receiving the<\/p>\n<p>commutation value, the same shall be paid to his heirs. The wife of<\/p>\n<p>the petitioner retired from service on 31.7.2006. She expired on<\/p>\n<p>9.5.2007. She was entitled to receive the commutation after her<\/p>\n<p>retirement on 31.7.2006 and she died before receiving the commuted<\/p>\n<p>value. This value, thus, is to be paid to her heirs. That seems to be<\/p>\n<p>the operation of this rule. How this is being invoked to deny payment<\/p>\n<p>of commuted value to the petitioner really cannot be appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>The respondents instead of helping a person who has lost his wife<\/p>\n<p>after illness, have created one problem or the other for him. It cannot<\/p>\n<p>be denied that petitioner, being a legal heir, is entitled to receive the<\/p>\n<p>pensionary benefits due to his late wife.\n<\/p>\n<p>           Even after two years, he is still seeking release of<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No.4368 of 2009                  :4 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>pensionary benefits. He is forced to approach the court as well. After<\/p>\n<p>the death of the wife, the person who is eligible to claim the benefit,<\/p>\n<p>would be so entitled to seek and sign the necessary documents.<\/p>\n<p>Surely, a dead person cannot come alive to sign documents.<\/p>\n<p>Instances would be many where an employee dies suddenly or<\/p>\n<p>accidentally. He would not be expected to leave signed documents<\/p>\n<p>for release of benefits. Surely such documents would be signed by a<\/p>\n<p>heir, who is entitled to receive benefits. The objection on this ground<\/p>\n<p>to deny this payment of commuted value certainly appears<\/p>\n<p>misconceived. The wife of the petitioner was paralyzed. The record<\/p>\n<p>would show that she was unconscious and right thumb impression<\/p>\n<p>had earlier been obtained by Sub Divisional Officer.                The<\/p>\n<p>respondents should see reasons and be not rigid. It will be highly<\/p>\n<p>unfair on their part to deny release of such like benefits on such like<\/p>\n<p>pretexts, which would not appeal to logic or sense of justice. A rule<\/p>\n<p>position also is supporting the view that the petitioner can claim<\/p>\n<p>commutation. If an heir is entitled to receive some benefit, he would<\/p>\n<p>certainly be entitled to sign for the grant or release of such benefit.<\/p>\n<p>The objection of the respondents is frivolous and misconceived and,<\/p>\n<p>thus, cannot be sustained.\n<\/p>\n<p>           The writ petition is, therefore, allowed. Respondents are<\/p>\n<p>directed to treat the application submitted by the petitioner for grant<\/p>\n<p>of commuted value of pension to be valid application and thereafter<\/p>\n<p>release the said benefit and other benefits due to the petitioner within<\/p>\n<p>a period of two months from the date of receipt of copy of this order.<\/p>\n<p>Since the petitioner has been unnecessarily made to file this petition,<\/p>\n<p>which would have been a cause of mental harassment and agony<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No.4368 of 2009               :5 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p>for him after the death of his wife, he is held entitled to exemplary<\/p>\n<p>costs, which is assessed as Rs.20,000\/-.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<pre>September 01, 2009                           ( RANJIT SINGH )\nramesh                                            JUDGE\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Veer Bhan vs State Of Haryana And Others on 1 September, 2009 Civil Writ Petition No.4368 of 2009 :1 : IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH DATE OF DECISION: SEPTEMBER 01, 2009 Veer Bhan &#8230;..Petitioner VERSUS State of Haryana and others &#8230;.Respondents CORAM:- HON&#8217;BLE MR.JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH 1.
