Careful perusal of aforesaid order/judgment, sought to be executed in the instant proceedings, reveals that this Court, while disposing of the petition, directed the respondents to grant all pensionary benefits alongwith arrears of pension to the petitioner, if otherwise found eligible forthwith. The recovery amount, if any, deducted from GPF of the petitioner, on account of interest etc. on GPF accumulations may also be refunded to the petitioner within a period of three months. Since, despite there being specific direction to do the needful, as taken note hereinabove, respondents have failed to do so, petitioner has approached this Court in the instant proceedings.

Mr. B.C.Verma, learned Additional Advocate General, while accepting notice on behalf of the respondents-State, states that though he has every reason to believe and presume that by now aforesaid judgment/ order must have been complied with, but if not, same would be complied with within a period of three weeks from today.

Consequently, in view of the fair statement made by learned Additional Advocate General, this Court sees no reason to keep the present petition alive and as such, same is accordingly
disposed of with the direction to the respondents to do the needful in

terms of order/judgment dated 23.11.2021 passed by this Court, positively within a period of three weeks, if not already done, failing which, petitioner would be at liberty to get the present proceedings revived, so that appropriate action, in accordance with law, is taken towards implementation of the judgment/ order, sought to be executed in the instant proceedings.
