IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.4808 of 2010 Ram Sharan Singh Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors. ----------- 2 20.10.2011 Heard learned counsels for the petitioner and the State. A show cause has been filed on behalf of the State stating therein that the order of the Court has been complied with by passing the necessary orders as stated in the show cause. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that although payments have been made, however, the interest over the delayed payment has not been paid. Learned counsel for the State submits that since the departmental proceeding was pending against the petitioner, and as such, some of the retiral dues were not paid during the pendency of the proceeding, and after conclusion of the proceeding payments have been made. In this context, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that since the petitioner was wholly exonerated in the departmental proceeding, and as such, petitioner is entitled to receive the interest over the amount which was withheld during the pendency of the departmental proceeding. Considering the submissions of the parties and the show cause, I am not inclined to proceed further in the matter. However, with respect to the claim of interest over the delayed payment on account of pendency of the departmental proceeding in which the petitioner was wholly exonerated, as submitted by the petitioner, it will be open for the petitioner to represent his grievances, which would be considered by the authority concerned and be disposed of by a reasoned order which should be communicated to the petitioner expeditiously. The MJC application accordingly stands disposed of. Manish/- ( Shailesh Kumar Sinha,J.)
