Allahabad High Court
DR JAG PRASAD CHATURVEDIversusState of UP AND 2 OTHERS
- Decided
Holding
The petition was disposed, with the court directing the authorities to communicate the status of the pension payment order if no legal impediment exists.
Summary
The petitioner, Dr. Jag Prasad Chaturvedi, filed a writ petition alleging that he was not receiving his current pension despite an interim order dated 06.02.2024 directing payment. The petitioner claimed the delay was due to the absence of a Pension Payment Order. The respondents, the State and two others, indicated that the pension payment order could not be generated because a criminal case is pending against the petitioner. The court directed the Deputy Director of Education to communicate the status within a week if no legal impediment existed and granted the standing counsel two weeks to seek further instructions. The matter was listed for a later date and the petition was ultimately disposed.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to receive his pension in the absence of a Pension Payment Order.
- Whether the pending criminal case against the petitioner legally bars the issuance of a pension payment order.
