Hon’ble Mr. Justice Sandeep Sharma, Judge. Whether approved for reporting?
For the Petitioners: Mr. Bonit Thakur, Advocate.
For the Respondents: Mr. Anup Rattan, Advocate General with Mr. Rajan Kahol, Additional Advocate General and Mr. Ravi Chauhan & Mr. Anish Banshtu, Deputy Advocates General, for respondents No.1 to 3.
Mr. Tek Ram Sharma, Advocate, for respondent No.4. ___________________________________________________________________________
Sandeep Sharma, J. (Oral)
While placing on record communication dated 4.11.2025, issued under the signature of Superintending Engineer, Jal Shakti Circle, Una, enclosing therewith copy of communication dated 31.10.2025 addressed to office of Accountant General, whereby case of the petitioner has been processed, learned Additional Advocate General states that in terms of mandate contained in the judgment sought to be executed, pension papers duly filled in, in favour of the petitioner, who has retired
2 from government service on 28.2.2002, have been further forwarded to the office of Accountant General for authorizing pension.
2.
Having perused aforesaid documents, which are taken on record, there appears to be merit in the contention of learned Additional Advocate General. Since respondents after having processed the case of the petitioner forwarded the case of the petitioner to the Accountant General and now orders with regard to authorization of pension are to be passed by the office of the Accountant General, nothing remains to be done at the behest of the respondents-State.
3.
Consequently, in view of the above, present petition is disposed of with direction to respondent No.4 to ensure that pension order thereby authorizing pension in favour of the petitioner in terms of communication dated 31.10.2025 sent by the Executive Engineer, Jal Shakti Division No. 1, Una, is passed expeditiously, preferably, within four weeks, failing which petitioner would be at liberty to get the present petition revived so that appropriation action in accordance with law is taken towards execution of the judgment sought to be executed.
