IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.13812 of 2011 Chandrakala Devi wife of late Ram Prakash Rai, Resident of Village Ojhaul, P.S. Bahadurpur, District Darbhanga. ... ... Petitioner. Versus 1. The Vice Chancellor, L.N. Mithila University, Darbhanga. 2. The Registrar, L.N. Mithila University, Darbhanga. 3. The Finance Officer, L.N. Mithila University, Darbhanga. 4. The Principal, Marwari College, Darbhanga. ... ... Respondents. ---------------------------------- 2. 24.8.2011. Heard Shri Arun Kumar Bhagat, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent nos.1, 2 and 3/L.N. Mithila University, Darbhanga. The petitioner’s husband was Peon in Marwari College, Darbhanga and he died in harness on 8.11.2004. The petitioner, being widow of Late Ram Prakash Rai, has asserted in the writ petition that after death of her husband, she is getting family pension only. Except the family pension, other death-cum-retiral dues of her husband have not been paid even after expiry of such a long time. In view of the fact that husband of the petitioner died while serving as Class-IV employee and petitioner is getting family pension, there is no reason for the respondent authorities to with 2 hold other death-cum-retiral dues of the petitioner. Accordingly, the court is of the opinion that the writ petition can be disposed of at this stage directing the respondents, particularly respondent no.1/Vice Chancellor, L.N. Mithila University, Darbhanga to take all steps for clearing all death-cum-retiral dues of the husband of the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It goes without saying that the petitioner shall be entitled to get admissible interest on delayed payment. The writ petition stands allowed. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
