IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10573 of 2005 SRI NAGENDRA PRASAD SINHA, son of late Dwarika Singh, resident of Malti Bhawan village Dasratha, P.o.

The Incharge Medical Officedr, Primary Health Centre, Itarhi, Police Station Buxar, Dist.-Buxar ----------- 4 22.03.2010 Mr. Abhitabh Kumar learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Kamda Singh, learned A.C. to G.P. 14 for the State and learned counsel for the Accountant General are present. The petitioner superannuated from the post of Block Extension Educator with effect from 31.12.1999, came before this Court for payment of his post retiral benefits. Admitted position is that the entire post retiral dues as found admissible to the petitioner has since been paid to him. Learned counsel for the petitioner however, disputes the calculation of the interest on the 2 G.P.F. deduction. In paragraph 29 of the writ petition he submits that although the petitioner was entitled to interest at the rate of 12.5. % but the authorities of the Provident Fund Department have calculated the interest at the rate of 10.5 % and thus he has suffered a loss of 2% on his G.P.F. deductions which were made until the date of payment. As admittedly the retiral dues of the petitioner has been paid to him hence no useful purpose would be served in keeping the writ pending and the same is disposed of with the liberty to the petitioner to raise his claim of interest together with supportive details before the respondent No.5, the District Provident Fund Officer, Buxar and who shall consider and dispose of the claim of the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Needless to add that if it is found that the petitioner is entitled to any further amount by way of interest, then the same should be paid to him within the period stipulated above.
