1. Heard learned counsel for petitioner and learned State Counsel for opposite parties.
2. Petition has been filed seeking a direction to concerned authority for payment of regular pension, arrears of pension, gratuity, leave encashment and other retirement dues to petitioner with regular payment of pension.
3. It has been submitted that petitioner has superannuated from service from the cooperative department on 30.07.2022, but the aforesaid benefits have not yet been paid.
4. Learned State Counsel has been provided written instructions dated 11.12.2025, which are taken on record and as per which, regular pension is being paid to petitioner but the other benefits could not be paid to petitioner on account of financial stringency being faced by the department.
5. Upon consideration of submissions advanced by learned counsel for parties and perusal of material on record, it is thus admitted that Versus Counsel for Petitioner(s) : Manish Mani Sharma Counsel for Respondent(s) : C.S.C.

petitioner was in substantive service with the cooperative department and has superannuated on 30.07.2022. The ground taken in the written instructions as financial stringency being faced by the department, cannot be a ground for denying the rights of petitioner particularly with regard to post-retirement benefits, which are not a bounty to be disbursed at the sweet will of employer.
6. In view thereof, the opposite parties collectively are directed to ensure payment of outstanding dues of petitioner expeditiously, within a period of six weeks from the date a certified copy of this order is served upon the said authority and to ensure continued regular payment of pension.
7. With the aforesaid directions, the petition stands allowed at the admission stage itself. Parties to bear their own costs. December 17, 2025 Subodh/- WRIA No. 14574 of 2025 2 (Manish Mathur,J.) Digitally signed by :- SUBODH KUMAR SINGH High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
