The said verification shall be carried out within four weeks from today and if pro-rata pension is found payable to the petitioner, the Signature Not Verified Digitally Signed WP(C) 5401/2022 Page 1 of 6 By:REYMON VASHIST Signing Date:25.07.2025 18:53:36 same shall be granted to him from the date of discharge and shall continue to be paid in future as well.
