IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4447 of 2005 CHANDRA GUPT SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 05/ 26.03.2010 Heard Mr. Shiva Shankar Prasad Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Fakhruddin Ali Ahmad, assisting counsel to S.C. 4. The only dispute was regarding the difference in the two authorizations of provident fund as present in Annexures- 1 and 2 to the writ petition for the reason that whereas the authorization contained in Annexure-1 authorized payment of Rs. 2,88,400/-, the authorization placed at Annexure-2 reduced it to Rs. 2,68,353/-. It is in this background that the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the said difference of amount together with statutory interest would be approximately about 60,000/- and is payable to the petitioner. The matter was adjourned and a counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondent no. 2 explaining the situation. It is stated that initially on the basis of deductions statement upto 1996-97 an authorization for Rs. 2,25,659/- was issued. Thereafter on receipt of another deductions statement, another authorisation slip upto 1998- 99 was issued amounting to Rs. 2,88,400/- + 19,191/- = 3,07,591/- vide letter dated 3.7.2000 (Annexure-1). Then it is stated that upon scrutiny of the matter and after re-calculation an amount of Rs. 39,238.00 was reduced from the second authorization slip of Rs. - 2 - 3,07,591/- by reason of not adjusting the advance lying against the petitioner to the tune of Rs. 10891.00 and it is in this background that the reduced authorization slip was issued on 17.6.2000 (Annexure-2) authorizing a payment of Rs. 2,68,353.00 with interest at the rate of 12.5 per cent. I am of the opinion that the discrepancy has been well explained and nothing survives in the writ petition. The writ petition stands disposed of. S.Sb/- (Jyoti Saran, J.)
