From perusal of the writ petition, it appears that the same had been filed for direction to the Respondents to fix the pension of the petitioner @ Rs. 600/- per month under the Employees Pension Scheme, 1995 from 19.5.1997. At the time of filing of the writ petition petitioner was being paid Rs. 265/- per month only. Mr. Pradhan, learned Sr. Counsel appears for the Respondents and submits that a counter affidavit has been filed as back as 20.7.2005 itself after serving a copy upon the petitioner and a 2 categorical stand has been taken in paragraph no. 6 that the petitioners’ pension has been revised at the rate of Rs. 600 per month under the provisions of para 12(5) (a) and (b) of Employees Pension Scheme 1995 w.e.f. 19.5.1997 but since the petitioner has opted for commutation of pension, the actual monthly pension has been re-fixed @ Rs. 400/- per month after such commutation. A copy of the revised P.P.O. No. BR/PAT/11540 dated 25.5.2005 has been appended as Annexure A to the counter affidavit. It has further been stated that the aforesaid revised P.P.O. along with differential amount of pension arrear amounting to Rs. 35,751/- only has already been forwarded to the Branch Manager, Punjab National Bank, Boring Road, Patna for disbursement of same in the saving bank account of the petitioner . Thus, it appears that grievance of the petitioner already stands redressed and this writ application has lost its efficacy. Accordingly, this writ application stands disposed of.
