IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1848 of 2006 SUSHILA DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02/ 11.02.2010 Learned counsel for the petitioner is permitted to add the District Provident Fund Officer, Jamui as respondent no. 5 in the proceedings. Heard Mr. Mani Bhushan Kumar for the petitioner and Mr. Sanjay Kumar, assisting counsel to A.A.G. 10 for the State. The petitioner who is widow of Late Adya Singh, has filed the writ petition for payment of the G.P.F. amount relating to her Late husband who died in harness on 11.02.2004 while holding the post of Chaukidar in the Police department of the State Government. As the writ petition is pending since 2006 and no counter affidavit has been filed by the concerned respondents in relation to the claim of the petitioner for payment of G.P.F. amount relating to her Late husband, no useful purpose would be served in keeping the writ petition pending and the same is disposed of with the direction to the newly added respondent no. 5. i.e. the District Provident Fund Officer, Jamui to make payment of the G.P.F. amount 2 together with admissible interest to the petitioner, if not already paid, within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ petition stands disposed of. S.Sb/- (Jyoti Saran, J.)
