As long as the case is not closed the benefit can be withheld. On satisfactory clearance from employer you can demand for quick processing.

The present legal position is that gratuity and commutation of pension cannot be sanctioned until and unless the proceedings are concluded. As regards to Leave Encashment the exact provision of Rule needs to be referred. Please ascertain whether the provision is similar to Rule 39(3) of CCS(Leave) Rules as applicable to Central Government Servants:
"The authority competent to grant leave may withhold whole or part of cash equivalent of earned leave in the case of a Government servant who retires from service on attaining the age of retirement while under suspension or while disciplinary or criminal proceedings are pending against him, if in the view of such authority there is a possibility of some money becoming recoverable from him on conclusion of the proceedings against him. On conclusion of the proceedings, he will become eligible to the amount so withheld after adjustment of Government dues, if any. "
If so, you may take up the matter with the authority concerned if facts and circumstances are in your favour.
