General Manager-Cum-Chief Engineer, Mithila Electric Supply Area, Darbhanga. 4. Electrical Superintending Engineer, Electric Supply Circle, Bihar State Electricity Board, Samastipur. 5. Executive Engineer, Electric Supply Division, B.S.E. Board, Rosera. ... ... Respondents. ---------------------------------- 2. 9.8.2011. Today again on call, none appeared on behalf of the petitioner. I have heard Shri Ajay Kumar Gautam, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents. The petitioner, who retired with effect from 31.8.2009 as Upper Division Correspondence Clerk from the office of Electric Supply Division, Rosera, has mainly prayed for directing the respondents for payment of sanctioned amount of G.P.F. to the tune of Rs.9,36,546/-. The petitioner has also claimed for interest on delayed payment of other retiral dues. In paragraph-5 of the writ 2 petition, specific averment has been made, that G.P.F. amount to the tune of Rs.9,36,546/- was sanctioned by the competent authority on 20.4.2010. However, till date, payment has not been made. In view of the fact that G.P.F. amount was already sanctioned by the competent authority, the court is of the opinion that writ petition can be disposed of directing the respondents, particularly respondent no.3 to take all steps for payment of the sanctioned amount of G.P.F. within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ petition stands disposed of. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
