Till date, no counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the State. Learned counsel for the State, however, seeks time. This matter relates to the payment of retiral dues of the widow whose husband was working as a Revenue Karmchari under Circle Officer, Chinari Anchal within the district of Rohtas. Instead of granting time for filing counter affidavit, in the expedient of justice, it is just and proper that the petitioner shall put up all her claims before the District Magistrate, Rohtas at Sasaram (respondent no.4). In the above circumstances, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner proposes to file a detailed representation before the District Magistrate, Rohtas at Sasaram (respondent no.4). In case such a representation is filed stating all her 2 claims distinctly as also enclosing the copy of the relevant documents, if any, in support of such claims along with the certified copy of the present order within a period of six weeks, respondent no.4 shall consider the grievances of the petitioner with regard to the payment of terminal benefits as raised in her representation and dispose it of in accordance with law expeditiously, preferably within a period of four months on receipt of such representation, so that upon consideration the admitted retiral dues, if any, could be paid to the petitioner with statutory interest without delay. However, if any of the claims is found not admissible, the same shall be informed to the petitioner with the reasons thereof. The writ application stands disposed of with the above observations/directions. PNM (Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
