IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7948 of 2002 RAJIV SINGH & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 11 19.08.2008 By order dated 15.02.2008, the Assistant Director, Provident Fund, Finance Department, Pant Bhavan, Patna, Bihar was directed to be present in Court on the next date. In pursuant to that order, the Assistant Director, Provident Fund is present in Court. Learned counsel for the respondents submits that earlier an amount of Rs. 4,37,371 was released in favour of the deceased Government employee. Subseqauently another authority slip of Rs. 1,26,966 was issued in his favour. But by that time he changed his address, and therefore, it could not be received by him. When another authority slip of the said amount was sent at his changed address, by that time, the Government employee had died. Therefore, a fresh authority slip was required to be issued in favour of the beneficiaries of the deceased Government employee which has been issued. Thus now a total sum of Rs. 5,64,337 2 has been released in favour of the deceased Government employee, and now to his beneficiaries towards the provident fund amount and interest accrued up-to-date on the same. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that as per his calculation dues of provident fund with interest comes to Rs. 7,73,725 up to March, 2000. In view of this discrepancy in calculation and amount of claim, learned counsel for the State has fairly offered that the petitioner or any of his representative may sit with the Assistant Director in his office today itself and get the calculation verified in his presence across the table. If after verification, some more amount becomes due to be paid, authority slip for the same shall also be issued by the respondents within one week. In that view of the matter, this writ application is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to sit across the table with the Assistant Director today itself or any day convenient to him either personally 3 or through any representative and get the calculation checked in his own presence and if upon calculation any amount falls due to the petitioner, the respondent Assistant Director, Provident Fund shall see to it that the authority slip is issued in favour of the petitioner within one week. The appearance of the Assistant Director, Provident Fund is dispensed with. With the above observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. Arvind/ ( J. N. Singh, J.)
