It<br \/>\n            appears that the petitioner took voluntary retirement in the year 2000 and according to<br \/>\n            him no dues certificate was issued on 25.12.2000, however an amount of Rs.38,500\/-<br \/>\n            was deducted from his D.A. which according to him was informed by the bank. The<br \/>\n            admitted fact remains that the petitioner had no right either legal or accrued to continue<br \/>\n            in the quarter after he retired within the stipulated period thereafter.           In his own<br \/>\n            representation he has sought time till the academic session completing in April, 2001.<br \/>\n                I have perused the original document produced by the respondents wherein notices<br \/>\n            were issued to him to vacate the quarter and he had also filed a reply thereto.<br \/>\n            Subsequently several show cause notices were issued asking the petitioner to vacate the<br \/>\n            quarter to which he has not replied which also led to lodging of F.I.R. also.<br \/>\n                Be that as it may, the fact remains that the petitioner continued in the said quarter<br \/>\n            even after the legitimate period prescribed. The argument of any enquiry or disciplinary<br \/>\n            proceeding is misplaced since it is not a case of misconduct relating to his service. As<br \/>\n            regards the argument with regard to having given a no objection certificate by the<br \/>\n            respondent the same is with reference to no dues during the service period whereas the<br \/>\n            amount deducted was for illegally retaining the quarter based on penal rent.<br \/>\n                Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case this writ petition, being<br \/>\n            devoid of any merit is accordingly dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                                                (Ajit Kumar Sinha,J.)<br \/>\n     NKC\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jharkhand High Court Narayan Pradhan vs Union Of India &amp; Ors. on 31 March, 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI W.P.(S) No.4282 of 2004 Narayan Pradhan Retd.
