The Officer-in-Charge, Raghunathpur Police Station, District Siwan. ----Respondents ----------- 5. 18.8.2009 A reply affidavit has been filed on behalf of the petitioner. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the State as also the Accountant General. The grievance of the petitioner is with regard to settling all his retiral dues, including the amount of Rs.59,764/-, which has been recovered from the pensionary benefits of the petitioner without any legal justification. The learned counsel further submits that the petitioner retired on 31st of March, 2002 whereas the respondents while settling the retiral dues have fixed the date of retirement as 29th of February, 2000. The learned counsel for the State submits that the petitioner has received excess salary and allowances for the period 1.3.2000 to 30.6.2001 for a total sum of Rs.59,764/- and as such the same is recoverable from the pensionary benefits of the petitioner. 2 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the respondents while fixing the pensionary benefits did not take into consideration that the correct date of retirement of the petitioner was 31st of March, 2002 and as such he had rightly worked till the said date and, therefore, nothing was recoverable from the petitioner as done in his case. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that for expeditious disposal of the grievances as raised in this writ application, the petitioner proposes to file a representation before the Collector, Siwan (respondent no.3). In case such a representation is filed stating the details of the claims as also enclosing the copy of the relevant documents in support of his claims along with the certified copy of the present order within a period of four weeks, the respondent no.3 shall consider the grievances of the petitioner as raised in his representation and dispose it of in accordance with law expeditiously, preferably within a period of four months on receipt of such representation, so that the grievances of the petitioner as raised in his representation could be redressed without further delay. In case the claim made in the representation is found not admissible, the petitioner shall be informed of the same with the reasons thereof. The writ application stands disposed of with the above observations/directions. PNM (Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
