    Case Summary: CWP/19488/2023 - Harjinder Pal v. State of Punjab The Punjab & Haryana High Court allowed the petitioner's writ petition and directed the State to release Rs.7,16,800 in pending retiral dues along with 6% interest from the petition filing date. The court held that retiral benefits must be assessed on the retirement date (31.07.2022), when no criminal charges or departmental proceedings were pending against the petitioner, despite a subsequent FIR filed in 2024. Following Supreme Court precedent, pending vigilance inquiries cannot justify withholding retirement dues—only formal chargesheet/charges suffice as impediments.
