The petitioner is a son of the deceased employee. Having considered the affidavits of the University, learned counsel for the petitioner - 2 - submits that there is no detail as regarding the provident fund claim amount of the petitioner for the period prior to July, 1992. He with reference to the Annexure-D to the supplementary counter filed on behalf of the respondent Nos. 4 and 5 submits that the calculation chart is only with effect from July, 1992 until June 1995 . He submits that the mother of the petitioner was appointed in the University on 4.4.1960 and superannuated as a 4th Grade employee on 30.6.1996. He thus submits that there is no detail of the provident fund amount of the mother of the petitioner for the period 4.4.1960 up to June, 1992 and again from July, 1995 up to 30.6.1996 the date of superannuation. He submits that the respondent University is under obligation to provide the calculation detail of the provident fund of late Panwati Devi to the petitioner and if any amount/dues remains pending by reason thereof the payment should be made. Learned counsel with reference to the statement made in the first supplementary counter affidavit at paragraph 6 thereof submits that admittedly an amount of - 3 - Rs. 37,302/- is still pending for payment being the arrears of differential amount of salary. The said payment had been kept pending subject to verification and approval by the Government auditor. In so far as other claim is concerned, there is no dispute between the parties. Having regard to the accompanying circumstances, no useful purpose would be served in keeping the writ petition pending and the same is disposed of with a direction to the respondent No.5, the Registrar, Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University, Bhagalpur to provide a detail of calculation in relation to the G.P.F. claim of late Panwati Devi for the period 4.4.1960 up to June 1992 and again for the period July 1995 up to June, 1996. Needless to add that if upon preparation of such calculation it is found that the petitioner is entitled to any further amount by way of G.P.F. relatable to his late mother, the same should be paid to the petitioner together with admissible interest thereon within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. In - 4 - so far as arrears of salary amount of Rs. 37,302/- is concerned, as the University itself accepts the said liability, they need not await the approval of the auditor and the same should be paid to the petitioner within the period stipulated above. The writ petition is disposed of. Bibhash (Jyoti Saran, J. )
