IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.90 of 2006 ROBIN KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 04/ 13.01.2010 Heard Mr. Narendra Kumar for the petitioner, Mr. Purnendu Singh, assisting counsel to Advocate General and Mr. Raj Nandan Prasad for the Accountant General. The petitioner claims to be the adopted son of Late Mukesh Prasad who died in harness as Excise Constable in the services of the Department of Excise, Government of Bihar, Patna on 16.9.2001. The petitioner in support of his claim to be the adopted son has produced a decree passed by the Munsif Ist, Saran, Chapra dated 26.4.2002 in Succession Case No. 10 of 2002, copy of which is placed at Annexure-2 of the proceedings. Learned counsel while admitting payment of the retiral benefits admissible to his foster father, however, disputes the amount of group insurance paid to the petitioner submitting that the same is not in accordance with the rules framed in this regard and that he has got a meagre amount of Rs. 15,000/- although he is entitled to higher amount. As the admissible dues as per the estimation of the respondents has been made over to the petitioner 2 no useful purpose would be served in keeping this writ petition pending. The writ petition is disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to raise his claim in relation to the quantum of the Group Insurance amount before the respondent no. 3 together with supportive documents and legal provisions governing the scheme and if the claim of the petitioner is found to be just and tenable then the amount should be paid to him within a period of six weeks from the date of such representation. The writ petition stands disposed of with the directions/observations aforesaid. S.Sb/- (Jyoti Saran, J.)
