IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12914 of 2005 PARWATI DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02/ 11.05.2010 Mr. Anil Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner is present. There is no representation either on behalf of the State of Bihar or the respondent-Arrah Municipality through its Executive Officer and other authorities of the Municipality. The petitioner complains of non-payment of post retiral benefits having superannuated on 31.5.1999 as a Class-IV employee from the post of Sweeper in the respondent-Municipality. It is submitted that despite a lapse of over 10 years, the Municipality in question has not yet made payment of admissible retiral dues of the petitioner. Taking into consideration that a time lapse almost 11 years, has occurred since the retirement of the petitioner, there can be no justification for non-payment of the post retiral dues of the petitioner. Having regard to the circumstances aforesaid, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent nos. 2 to 4 to ensure the payment of the admissible amount of the post retiral benefits to the - 2 - petitioner within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Such of the claim of the petitioner, as not found admissible, may be disposed of by a reasoned order. S.Sb/- (Jyoti Saran, J.)
