Petitioner Versus 1. The Chairman,Bihar State Electricity Board, Bidyut Bhawan, Bailey Road, Patna. 2. The General Manager-cum-Chief Engineer, Central Electric Supply Area, Bihar State Electricity Board, Patna. 3. Electrical Superintending Engineer, Bihar State Electricity Board, Electrical Circle, Patna. 4. The Electrical Executive Engineer, Electric Supply Division, Barh, Patna. ..... Respondents ----------- 2 01.07.2011 Sri Santosh Kumar Singh, learned counsel appearing on behalf of all the respondents/Bihar State Electricity Board, has prayed for granting time for seeking instruction. The petitioner who retired as unskilled 'Khalasi' with effect from 30.09.2009 from the office of Electrical Executive Engineer, Barh (respondent no. 4), has prayed for directing the respondents to make payment of sanctioned amount of G.P.F. to the tune of Rs. 5,52,369/- with admissible interest . Learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to Annexure -1 to the writ petition from which it is evident that aforesaid amount was sanctioned in the month of 2 May, 2010. The court is of the opinion that after sanctioning of the amount of G.P.F. in the month of May, 2010 the respondent authority cannot delay payment of the same. Delay has already occurred. In view of the facts and circumstances instead of keeping the matter pending the writ petition stands disposed of directing the respondents particularly respondent no. 2/General Manager-cum-Chief Engineer, Central Electric Supply Area, Bihar State Electricity Board, Patna to make payment of the sanctioned amount of G.P.F. with statutory interest within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ petition stands disposed of. Praful (Rakesh Kumar, J.)
