I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned State counsel at some length and the present order is being passed with the consent of both the parties. 4. From a perusal of the record, it is borne out that the respondent department as well as the Senior Account Officer from the office of Accountant General have raised certain objections and have directed the petitioner to supply certain documents, which were required for releasing the benefits to the petitioner. However, it appears that the petitioner could not supply the said documents and due to the same, the claim of the petitioner for various reliefs, which have been prayed in the present petition, could not be granted to him. Consequently, the present writ petition is disposed of with the following directions:- (i) The respondents shall furnish a list of all the documents which are required to be filed by the present petitioner, within a period of two weeks from today. (ii) The office of Accountant General, Punjab shall also furnish a list of all the documents to the petitioner, which are required for clearing the pension case of the present petitioner, within a period of two weeks from today. (iii) The petitioner is also directed to submit all the documents to the respondent department as well as the department of Accoun- tant General within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of such communications from the abovestated offices. 5. The office of Accountant General as well as the respondents shall decide all the claims, as prayed in the present writ petition within a period of eight weeks from the receipt of complete papers from the present petitioner.

In case, the petitioner still feel aggrieved, it will be open for him to challenge the orders passed by the respondents as well as the office of the Accountant General. Still further, it is expected that the respondents as well as the office of Accountant General, Punjab shall pass a speaking and well reasoned order, while accepting/rejecting the claim of the petitioner for all the reliefs which have been claimed in the instant writ petition, the relevant rules/instructions shall be referred to in the orders, to be passed, by them. 7. In case, the petitioner is found entitled to any relief, the same shall be released to him forthwith, along with a reasonable rate of interest. 8. Disposed of.
