IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11460 of 2002 PRAMOD KUMAR SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 08/ 11.07.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondents. This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner for the retiral dues of his father, who retired on 30.06.1989 as Deputy Collector. It is further stated that his father remained alive for about thirteen years after retirement but no retiral dues was paid to him as a result of which he died due to absence of proper treatment and paucity of money. It is further stated that petitioner’s father died on 11.03.2002 whereafter the petitioner filed this writ petition and during the pendency of this writ petition the retiral dues have been paid to the petitioner except the difference of salary, pension and gratuity as per the revision of pay scale. It was clarified by him that although pension and gratuity have been paid but they were not calculated on the proper scale. It is also submitted that full arrears of salary has also not been paid and whatever amount paid is not on the proper pay scale and hence, the petitioner is liable to get the difference amount. Learned counsel for the petitioner also submits that there is delay and negligence on the part of the authority concerned for non-payment of the retiral dues to the father of the petitioner for thirteen years as a result of which he died of ailments and hence, the authorities must also pay the interest on the amounts of retiral dues paid to the petitioner after more than a decade. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances and 2 also realising that most of the amount of retiral dues have already been paid to the petitioner and his grievances have been redressed, accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to raise all grievances mentioned above before the Secretary, Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms, Government of Bihar(respondent no.3) by filing an application along with a copy of this order and relevant materials within four weeks from today. If such an application is filed within the time prescribed above, the said authority shall dispose it of in accordance with law by speaking order within eight weeks thereafter.
