THESE WRIT PETITIONS ARE FILED UNDER ARTICLES 226 & 227 OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA, PRAYING TO DIRECT THE R-1 AND 2 TO TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION UNDER LAW ETC.

THESE WRIT PETITIONS COMING ON FOR ORDERS THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING:

ORDER

{Explanation- If for example, the normal pension under para 12 is Rs.600.00 and the pensioner opts to commute one-third of this monthly pension the commuted value will be equal to 1/3 x 600 x 100 = Rs.20,000 and the same shall be paid at the time of exercise of option for commutation. The balance of pension payable on monthly basis is Rs.400.00}

have already received. The amount that has already been paid under the commutation scheme would once again have to be paid by the pension authority, thereby doubling the benefit under the scheme which is impermissible and would be arbitrary and would place the other pensioners who have not opted for commutation at a disadvantage as the persons similarly placed as the petitioners would be gaining an advantage, which advantage would be denied to such of those pensioners who have not opted for commutation. Hence, prima facie the writ petition is misconceived and is liable to be dismissed.

brought to the Act, the question of entitlement of the petitioners does not arise.

aggrieved persons. In this regard, it is also relevant to place reliance on the judgment of the Apex Court rendered in the case of STATE OF PUNJAB & OTHERS VS RAFIQ MASIH – (2015)4 SCC 334. Hence, the respondent-authority shall adopt a considerate approach in the matter of recovery of amounts.
