IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1159 of 2005 JAGDISH PANDIT Versus THE CHAIRMAN, B.S.E.B. & ORS ----------- 03/ 30.11.2009 Heard Mr. Satya Ranjan Sinha for the petitioner and Mr. Dharmeshwar Mishra, learned counsel representing the Board. The petitioner has filed the writ petition for payment of his retiral benefits. Petitioner retired from the Board with effect from 31.1.2004 from the post of Junior Lineman. During the course of proceedings a counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the Board and in paragraph 3 thereof the details of the retiral benefits paid to the petitioner has been mentioned. It has thus been stated that the entire admissible retiral benefits of the petitioner has been paid to him. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner disputes the calculation of interest with regard to the Group Savings Amount and the G.P.F. amount as according to him the payments have been made after some delay and as such the statutory interest for the delayed period has to be paid to him. As the admissible retiral benefits have already 2 been paid to the petitioner, this writ petition is disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to file a representation before respondent no. 2, the Secretary of the Board with regard to his claim for statutory interest on the Group Savings Amount and G.P.F. amount for the delayed period that is from the day it became due until the date of payment and for any other dues which according to him have remained pending. If such representation is filed within four weeks from today, the same should be considered and disposed of by respondent no. 2, the Secretary of the Board within four weeks from the date of receipt of any such representation and if any amount is found payable to the petitioner towards interest or towards any other dues, the same should be paid to him within four weeks therefrom. Needless to say that if any claim of the petitioner is not found payable, the same should be rejected by a speaking order to be passed within the same stipulated period. The writ petition stands disposed of with the directions aforesaid. S.Sb/- (Jyoti Saran, J.)
