IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Miscellaneous Jurisdiction Case No.1315 of 2011 Mohan Prasad Verma Versus The Managing Director & Ors. ---------------------------------- 04. 09.11.2011 Heard Mr. Ataul Haque, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Ajay Kumar Sinha for the opposite parties. The writ petition was disposed of with the direction to the Central Bank of India to consider and dispose of the claim of the petitioner by making payment of the admissible dues together with admissible interest thereon. The petitioner was removed from the service of the Bank by reason of his conviction in a criminal case. Upon non- payment of his claim, the writ petition came to be filed and which was disposed of with the direction aforesaid. Upon non-compliance of the direction issued in the order passed in the writ petition on 10.05.2010 the present contempt application was filed. A show cause has been filed on behalf of the respondent-Bank and in which the position regarding eligibility of the petitioner towards provident fund has been admitted. However, with reference to Regulation 22 of the Central Bank of India Employee Pension Regulation, it is submitted that the petitioner is not entitled to any pension as the provision of the said Regulation 22(1) provides for forfeiture of the past service in case of removal or termination of a bank employee. Today when the matter has been taken up for consideration, Mr. Ajay Kumar Sinha, learned counsel appearing on 2 behalf of the Bank produces a cheque for an amount of Rs. 5,57,434/- said to be the provident fund amount payable to the petitioner which is inclusive of the petitioner’s contribution as also the interest calculated until 26th of September, 2011. A calculation chart has also been produced along with the cheque. The cheque and the calculation chart is handed over to the learned counsel for the petitioner, who acknowledges its receipt. Let a photo copy of the cheque as well as calculation chart be kept on the record of the proceedings. A perusal of the calculation chart manifests that the amount to which the petitioner is found entitled by way of provident fund amount together with interest has been made over to him. As according to the Regulation 22(1) of the Central Bank of India Employee Pension Regulation, any employee of the Bank who faces termination or removal is not entitled to any pension, his claim towards pension has been rejected. In the aforesaid view of the matter, nothing further survives in the contempt application and the same is accordingly disposed of. S.Sb/- (Jyoti Saran, J.)
