Respondents. ---------------------------------- 6. 22.11.2011. Heard Shri Ram Sagar Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner, Shri Shiv Kumar, learned Central Government Counsel appearing on behalf of respondent nos.1 to 4 and Shri Kaushlendra Kumar Sinha, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent nos.5, 6 and 7/State Bank of India. The present writ petition has been filed with a prayer to direct the respondents, particularly respondent/Bank to credit the pensionary benefit as per authorization issued by the respondent/Union of India to the petitioner’s account. A plea was taken that despite the fact that 2 authorization in the Bank was received long back, it was not credited to the account of the petitioner due to latches on the part of the Bank. In this case, by order dated 16.11.2011, the General Manager, State Bank of India/respondent no.7 was directed to file specific affidavit. In terms of the order passed by this Court, the General Manager himself has filed affidavit wherein he has given explanation that immediately after receipt of the authorization, the concerned Bank sent a registered letter to the address available in the Bank to the petitioner, which returned un-served. However, subsequently, petitioner appeared and submitted requisite papers and thereafter, Bank had taken steps and now the amount as per authorization has already been credited to the account of the petitioner. Such statement has been made in paragraph-22 of the counter affidavit. Along with counter affidavit, statement of the Bank account has been brought on record. Learned counsel for the respondents, while referring to Annexure-B to the counter 3 affidavit, submits that statement makes it clear that only arrear of pension for 13 months has been credited besides crediting the commuted value on pension. Still pension for two months have not been credited to the account of the petitioner. Be that as it may, since the amount has already been credited, there is no need to further proceed with the matter. It was submitted by Shri Kaushlendra Kumar Sinha, learned counsel for the Bank that if any due is there that will be credited to the account of the petitioner without any delay. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
