IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14214 of 2008 Vijay Singh, Son of Late Dasrath Singh, Resident of Village Terri, P.S. Mehandia, District Arwal. ---------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar through the Commissioner-cum-Secretary, Water Resources Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 2. The Chief Engineer, Water Resources Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 3. The Superintending Engineer, Water Resources Department, Dehri- on-Sone, Rohtas at Sasaram. 4. The Executive Engineer, Water Resources Department, Dehri-on- Sone, Akaurhigola, Permandal-1, Nasriganj, Rohtas at Sasaram. ------------- Respondents ----------- 2 04.05.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ petition for payment of retirement benefit now gets almost obliterated in view of the fact that the respondents have taken a stand that there is an order of punishment withholding entire pension and gratuity of the petitioner. If that be so, the petitioner will have to first challenge such order of punishment before he can claim payment of retirement benefit. That being so, this application has become infructuous and is dismissed accordingly with a liberty to the petitioner 2 to move appropriate forum against the aforementioned order of punishment.
