The present writ petition was filed with a prayer to direct the Respondents to pay the amount of G.P.F., difference of salary amount between the period 1971 to 1973 and also interest. In this case, a counter affidavit was filed long back in the year 2008 on behalf of the Respondent no.4/ District Superintendent of Education, Gaya as well as on behalf of Respondent no.5/ District Provident Fund Officer. It has been specifically asserted that the difference of salary amount between the period 1971 to 1973 has already been paid to the petitioner. Regarding relief no.1, the Respondent no.4 has stated in its counter affidavit that the cheque was already prepared and the petitioner was requested to collect the same. Learned counsel for the petitioner is not in a position to inform the court as to whether the petitioner had received the cheque 2 amount or not. It was submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the writ petition may be disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to approach the authority concerned, if payment has not been received by the petitioner. In view of the stand taken by learned counsel for the petitioner, there is no need to keep the matter further pending. The writ petition stands disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner that if the petitioner has not received the cheque amount as stated in the counter affidavit, the petitioner shall be entitled to approach the authority concerned to collect the same and if the petitioner approaches the authority concerned, the same be handed over to the petitioner without any delay. The writ petition stands disposed of. NKS/- ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
