Prim facie, the petitioner has a qualifying length of service to his credit and he gave various reasons to claim the interest on the delayed payments. It is well-settled law that no pension granted or continued to the pensioner is liable to seizure by the department under Pension Act, 1871, and the rules framed thereunder---Thus, the competent authority of Pakistan-Railways is liable to release the withheld amount with profit and pay the pension amount and other ancillary benefits to the petitioner to which he is entitled under the law within two weeks from the date of receipt of this order. The competent authority of the respondent is also directed to recalculate the pensionary benefits of the petitioner and increases accrued thereon the withheld pensionary benefits with effect from 5.6.2017 to date.
