Since no final settlement has been done so the present writ application. Learned counsel for the State points out that certain amount have been paid but some other amount has been claimed by the petitioner which is required to be looked into. There is no dispute that at the relevant time when the pay revision was effected the State authorities as a matter of principle decided to get the difference of salary deposited in the provident fund account, which carried statutory interest and was payable upon retirement. 2 This writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the District Superintendent of Education, Patna that he has to get the matter verified. The petitioner will render due assistance with the necessary papers if so required since it is an old matter. Endeavor should be made to settle the issue within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. If final settlement has not been made, the petitioner will be paid his rightful dues within the above time frame. This writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid direction. Anand Kr.
