THE BIHAR STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPORATION , THROUGH THE CHAIRMAN, BIRCHAND PATEL MARG, PARIWAHAN BHAWAN, PATNA-800001. 4. THE STATE OF BIHAR. ----------- 14 23.11.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the respondent Corporation The grievance of the petitioner is that even though he superannuated long ago, still the claim of retired dues as also certain arrears of salary which have remained to be settled and paid as indicated in Annexure-1 of the writ application. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent Corporation submits that the claims, which the petitioner has presented through Annexure-1, are not clear with regard to his entitlements. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in Annexure-8 the claims are very much clear. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the deductions of the amount on account of demurrage 2 and the charges of labour (Kooli) have been absolutely not justified. The Corporation did not consider the matter in its correct perspective. Be that as it may, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though a huge amount of money is still not being paid by the Corporation, but, for expeditious disposal of his pending claims, the petitioner would be presenting his claims afresh by way of representation before the Administrator of the respondent –Corporation. In case such representation is filed stating distinctly the details of his unpaid claims as also enclosing the copy of the relevant document, if any, in support of such claims along with the certified copy of the present order within a period of four weeks, the representation be considered and disposed of by a reasoned order in accordance with law after verifying the relevant records expeditiously, preferably within a period of five months on receipt of such representation. Upon consideration, if the representation is accepted, the admitted dues, if any, may also be paid along with a forwarding letter indicating details of such payment. However, if any of the claims or part of the claims is not being paid, the petitioner may be communicated with the reasons thereof. It is further made clear that if any of the 3 amounts is found to be adjusted against the dues of the petitioner, the details of such adjustment may also be stated in the reasoned order and may be communicated to the petitioner while declining any of claims. The writ application stands disposed of with the above observations/directions. Amrendra/ ( Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
