India and others connected petitions 2020 SCC OnLine Del 1477 and the petitioners in Govind Kumar Srivastava v. Union of India 2019 SCC OnLine
Del 6425 (DB) [against which Special Leave Petition (Civil) No. 8813/2019 has been dismissed on 26th April, 2019] and seeks the same relief as
claimed therein i.e. of pro rata pension.
Learned counsel for the petitioner, on enquiry, states that the requisite No Objection Certificates (NOCs) had been given.

been disposed of, this Court finds no purpose in adjourning the matter.

to be similarly placed as the petitioners in Govind Kumar Srivastava (supra) and Brijlal Kumar (supra) and other connected petitions supra, to grant
him the same relief as granted in those petitions i.e. by payment of arrears of pro rata pension from the date of discharge till the date of payment and
in future to continue to pay pro rata pension to the petitioner. However, if on verification it is found that the petitioner, for any reason, is not entitled to
pro rata pension for reasons other than those stated in the judgments in Govind Kumar Srivastava (supra) and Brijlal Kumar (supra) and other
connected petitions supra being in personam, the respondents, within the said twelve weeks, shall communicate to the petitioner, not so found entitled,
the reasons in writing thereof and in which event, the petitioner shall be entitled to take further remedies there against. Needless to state that if any
documents are asked for by the respondents, the same shall be furnished by the petitioner within a week.
If the arrears of pro rata pension are not paid within twelve weeks, the same shall also incur interest thereon @ 7% per annum from the expiry of
twelve weeks till the date of payment.
