THE DISTRICT PROVIDENT FUND OFFICER, KHAGARIA, DISTT- KHAGARIA----------------RESPONDENTS. ----------- 9 27.2.2009 Heard learned counsel for the parties. No doubt, a counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the District Superintendent of Education of Khagaria but surprisingly the same is silent on the issue of non-payment of GPF amount for the period 1974 to 1986. In the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the District Provident Fund Officer, Khagaria duly sworn on 20.1.2006 a statement of account giving the details of the calculation was brought out on record as annexure A/1 but this calculation only starts from April, 1986 till the period 1993. The amount shown in the said chart stands paid which has also been acknowledged in the counter affidavit filed by the District Superintendent of Education. But there is still silence with regard to payment of GPF between 1974 to 1986. The Court is constraint to record that despite the affidavit of the District Superintendent of Education the matter has not been resolved. A direction is hereby issued upon the District Superintendent of Education as well as the District Provident Fund Officer that they shall take steps for preparing records of payment of GPF to the petitioner even for the period 1974 to 1986, work - 2 - out the liability and make payments of the same within a period of three months from the date of communication or production of a copy of this order. The Court expects that the direction to be followed within the time frame since they have failed to file categorical affidavits in this regard despite the writ application pending since 2004 and several indulgence having been granted by the Court to state all the facts in the counter affidavit. This writ application is disposed of with the above direction. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
