Heard Shri Vijay Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Nikesh Kumar, learned counsel appearing on behalf of all the respondents/Bihar State Electricity Board. The petitioner, who retired as Welder Grade-I from Barauni Thermal Power Station, Begusarai, has prayed for directing the respondents to make payment of all his retiral dues, which was sanctioned in the year 2010 itself. The petitioner has brought on record the order of sanction as Annexures 3 to 6 to the writ petition. To this effect, specific 2 averment has been made in the writ petition. In view of the fact that all the retiral dues have already been sanctioned by the competent authority, there is no reason for with holding payment without any rhyme and reason. The court is of the opinion that writ petition can be disposed of at this stage directing the respondents, particularly respondent nos.2 and 3 to take steps for making payment of all the retiral dues, which have already been sanctioned by the authority concerned within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It goes without saying that the petitioner shall be entitled to get admissible statutory interest. The writ petition stands allowed. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
