IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.423 of 2010 Dhananjay Narain Sinha, Son of Late Lakshmi Narain Sinha, resident of Mohalla Bahari Dhawalpura, P.O. Begampur, P.S. Chowk (City), District Patna……………………………………………...Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar through the Secretary, Art, Culture and Youth Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. 2. Vivek Singh, the Secretary, Art, Culture and Youth Department, Government of Bihar, Vikas Bhawan, Patna. 3. Kiran Kumari, District Education Officer, Patna. 4. Arun Kumar, District Provident Fund Officer, Patna…………………..………….Opposite Parties. ----------- 3 13.04.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the State. From the show cause filed by the opposite parties it appears that provident fund dues of petitioner have been paid calculating the interest as applicable from time to time. However, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that calculation has been made only upto September, 2002 and payment has been made in February, 2003. Hence, petitioner is entitled for interest on the due amount of this period. Secondly, he submits that petitioner had made subscription of G.P.F. at the rate of 12.05% in 1986-87 to 1992-93 but the 2 opposite parties have not taken into account the same while calculating the G.P.F. amount and interest thereon. He also relies upon an order of this Court dated 21.03.2005 passed in CWJC No. 13261 of 2004. The matter appears to be essentially a dispute of calculation. Therefore, the contempt application is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to represent the concerned District Provident Fund Officer with details of his calculation, along with a copy of the said order of this Court, for consideration. Petitioner will also be at liberty to appear personally before the District Provident Fund Officer to explain the matter whereupon District Provident Fund Officer shall apply his mind to the same and shall get all the calculations and entitlement of the petitioner thoroughly checked and thereafter shall pass appropriate orders for release of remaining amount of the petitioner with statutory interest as applicable in the matter.
