¶27

It is the case of the petitioner that he was appointed as a Secondary Grade Teacher on 01.08.1986. He was promoted upto the post of Block Educational Officer and retired on 31.07.2024. After his retirement, the 3^rd respondent forwarded a proposal to the 4^th respondent for sanction of pension and terminal benefits. Accordingly, the 4^th respondent sanctioned pension and other retirement benefits. However, the 3^rd respondent has kept the proposal pending without giving a “No Objection Certificate” .

¶28

According to the petitioner, he had served 38 years of

¶29

unblemished service. After retirement, he has no income for his livelihood and is suffering a lot of financial crisis. He gave a representation dated 05.03.2026 to the 3^rd respondent requesting issuance of the No Objection Certificate. In spite of his several requests, the 3^rd respondent has not come forward to issue the same. Hence, the petitioner is before this Court.
