IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4842 of 2006 BIRBALA TRIVEDI aged about 60 years wife of Triloki Tiwary, resident of Mohaddi Nagar P. S. Mohaddi Nagar, District- Samastipur…. Petitioner. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR through its Commissioner-cum- Secretary to Govt. Heath and Family Planning Department, Bihar, Patna. 2. The District Magistrate and Collector-cum- District Treasury Officer, Samastipur. 3. Civil Surgeon- cum- Senior Medical Officer, in the Department of Health and Family Planning Samastipur. 4. Medical Officer Incharge Primary Health Centre, Mohaddi Nagar, Samastipur. .. Respondents. ----------- 2. 7.05.2010 No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ petition is only for payment of following retirement benefits: “(i) For payment of retirement benefit under heading difference of pay, admissible due to their revised pay scale in the year, 1996. (ii) For payment of revised gratuity as the payment of the same has been made according to old pay scale. (iii) For that payment of one day duty period salary and of payment of 10 % interest on arrear payment.” It is not disputed that the petitioner had retired while holding the post of Lady Health Visitor at Primary Health Centre, Mohaddi Nagar. She under law is entitled to payment of retiral benefit from 1.3.1998 as would appear from PPO dated 6.12.2001 as contained in 2 Anneuxre-1. In that view of the matter, respondents are hereby directed to ensure that the payment of revised gratuity to the petitioner, if not already made, must be made to her within a period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. As with regard to payment of difference of pay in the revised pay-scale from 1996, the Competent Authority will make enquiry and if it is found that anything is payable towards the same, its actual benefit will also be extended as per government policy in the same time span of four months. The further remaining grievance for one day duty period salary being wholly vague and unspecified in the writ application is quite incapable of being adjudicated and therefore no direction can be given in this regard. With the aforementioned observations and directions, this writ petition is accordingly, disposed of. kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
