The Director, Sinchai Ganveshan sansthan, Khagaul, District-Patna. 4. The Secretary, Sinchai Ganveshan Sansthan, Khagaul District-Patna. 5.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the Respondent-State as also learned counsel appearing on behalf of Intervenor-Kunti Devi. The grievance of the petitioner is with regard to payment of death-cum-retiral dues of the deceased employee. The petitioner claims to be widow and also a nominee of the deceased employee claims for payment of Provident Fund dues on the basis of nomination as contained in Annexure-4 of the writ application. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State submits that the nomination as contained in Annexure-4 was submitted by the petitioner after death of the deceased employee and as such the same appears to be doubtful. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the document nominating the petitioner would receive the Provident Fund dues in a prescribed format under the Bihar General Provident Fund Rules 1948 is absolutely genuine. Notwithstanding the above, learned counsel for the petitioner 2 submits that for expeditious disposal of her pending claims, petitioner proposes to satisfy the department with regard to her claims and as such proposes to represent the matter before Respondent No. 5 stating distinctly details of her claims. In case, such representation is filed along with relevant documents in support of her claim as also certified copy of the present order within a period of six weeks, Respondent No. 5 shall consider and dispose of grievances of the petitioner passed by a reasoned order in accordance with law expeditiously preferably within a period of four months on receipt of such representation. It goes without saying that upon consideration, if any amount is found payable to the petitioner, the same should be paid with statutory interest. With the above observations/directions, the writ application stands disposed of. m.p. (Shailesh Kumar Sinha,J.)
