IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.20638 of 2011 Gyani Singh, Son of Late Ramdeo Ram, Resident of New Arriya Babu Bazar, Police Station-Ara Town, District – Bhojpur. ……. Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar. 2. The Accountant General (A&E) Bihar, Patna. 3. The G.P.F. Officer, Chapra. 4. The Executive Engineer, Tube-well Division, Chapra. 5. The District Magistrate, Chapra. 6. The Treasury Officer, Chapra, Treasury Office, Chapra. ……. Respondents ---------------------------------- 2 24.11.2011 Heard Mr. S.M. Shabbir Alam, learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri L.P.K. Rajgrihar, learned A.C. to Additional Advocate General No. 4, appearing on behalf of Respondent No. 1 & 3 to 6 and Sri Ranjan Kumar, learned counsel appearing on behalf of Respondent No. 2 / Accountant General, Bihar, Patna. The petitioner, who retired on 31.01.2011 as Class IV employee i.e. ‘Driver’ from the Department of Tubewell Division, Chapra, has prayed for directing the Respondents to immediately start paying pension, commuted value of pension, G.P.F. amount, gratuity, arrear of salary as well as amount under the head of leave encashment. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the Accountant General, Bihar, Patna, has already issued authorization in respect of pension, gratuity, commuted value of pension and leave encashment as well as arrear of salary has also been approved. Despite the fact that authorization and approval has been granted by the competent authority, the petitioner has not received any retiral dues till date. Only group insurance amount has been 2 paid to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to Annexure-1 series, 2, 3 & 4 to the writ petition. In view of the fact that the petitioner retired in the month of January 2011 and all formalities have already been done, there is no reason for the authority concerned to sit tight over the matter for paying the retiral dues to the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition stands allowed with direction to Respondents particularly Respondent No. 6/Treasury Officer, Chapra, to take steps so that all the retiral dues may be paid to the petitioner within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ petition stands allowed. Praful ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
