The petitioner, who retired on 30.11.2006 as Headmistress from Rajya Samposit Balika High School, Jehanabad, had approached this Court in the year 2008 with a prayer to direct the Respondents to pay full pension instead of provisional pension, gratuity and other retiral dues. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that during the pendency of the writ petition, all the retiral dues have already been paid to the petitioner .He further submits that final pension and gratuity have also been authorized. However, it was submitted that while fixing pension, the claim of the 2 petitioner for her services rendered has not been properly taken into account. The Court is of the opinion that since in the present writ petition grievance was to direct for finalization of pension and the same has already been done, no purpose would be served in keeping the matter further pending. The writ petition can be disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to question the fixation of pension by filing a detailed representation before the Respondent no.3/ Director, Secondary Education, Bihar, Patna. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was also entitled to get interest on delayed payment. If so advised, while filing the representation, the petitioner may also claim interest for delayed payment. If such representation is filed by the petitioner, the Court expects that the Respondent no.3 will examine the same in accordance with law and take final decision preferrably within a period of four months from the date of filing of such representation. In case of refusal, the Respondent no.3 is required to pass speaking order and communicate the same to the petitioner within the aforesaid time. The writ petition stands disposed of.
