THE DISTRICT ACCOUNTS OFFICER, PATNA COLLECTORATE, PATNA --------------------------------RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2 18.5.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The Principal of Regional Health & Family Welfare Training Centre, Sheikhpura, Patna is present in Court and informs the Court that he has recently joined the post and when it came to his knowledge that the claim of the petitioner is being wrongly not entertained or correction in the pay scale is not being made, he has taken immediate steps in this regard and in support thereof he produces the communication and necessary correction made in the pay scale of the petitioner. The Court dose not know whether it is the filing of the writ application which has made a difference or a fair approach which have been taken by the Principal in such a matter. But obviously the objection earlier for non-correction raised by the erstwhile authority was not for a bona fide reason which was unnecessarily created harassment for the petitioner. In the circumstances noted above the personal - 2 - appearance of the Principal is hereby dispensed with now with a clear direction to all the respondents that they shall now expedite the claim of the petitioner for settlement of her dues including pension etc. with due expeditious taking into consideration that petitioner has now retired on 30.6.2010 and is a cardiac patient undergoing treatment and requires immediate assistance. This writ application stands disposed of with the above direction. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
