The petitioner claiming retrial dues of his father has approached this court by invoking its extraordinary writ jurisdiction. The father of the petitioner had retired on 31.07.1999 as Reader under B.N. Mandal University, Madhepura and subsequently died on 03.07.2007. Despite the fact that father of the petitioner died in the year 2007, it has been argued by learned counsel for the petitioner that till date entire death-cum-retiral dues of his father has not been cleared by the University authority. Learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to 2 Annexure – 2 to the writ petition i.e. a communication issued under the Right to Information Act by the Public Information Officer, B.N. Mandal University, Madhepura enclosing therewith a chart giving details of outstanding retrial dues of the father of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that the mother of the petitioner pre-deceased his father and in family besides petitioner and his brother there are three sisters. This fact has been enumerated in paragraph no. 6 of the writ petition. It was argued that other brother and sisters of the petitioner have already authorized the petitioner to receive the payment through a registered deed of power of attorney. Sri Hemendra Prasad Singh, learned counsel for respondent nos. 4, 5 & 6/B.N. Mandal University, Madhepura is not disputing the claim but he has argued that the dues of late employee may be paid to the right person after verifying the calculation and entitlement of the claimant. In view of the facts and circumstances as well as stand taken by the parties the court is of the opinion that writ petition can be disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh representation before respondent no. 5/Registrar, B.N. Mandal University, Madhepura so far as claim of arrear of pension, gratuity and leave encashment is concerned. For the purposes of claim of G.I.C. which has been partly claimed from respondents- B.N.
