Respondents ----------- 2 18.07.2011 Heard Sri Nalin Vilochan Tiwary, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Vinay Kirti Singh, learned counsel appearing on behalf of all the respondents/Bihar State Electricity Board. The petitioner, who retired as Executive Engineer (Civil) with effect from 31.08.2000 has prayed for direction to the respondents to make payment of sanctioned amount of revised gratuity and revised leave encashment. Learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to Annexures – 1, 2 & 3 to the writ petition whereby revised gratuity to the tune of Rs. 1,84,377/- and subsequently an amount of Rs. 7,419/- under the same head and also office order dated 07.02.2001 whereby revised leave encashment to the tune of Rs. 51,430/- was sanctioned. It was submitted that despite the fact that aforesaid amount was sanctioned long back in the year 2001 & 2002, till date payment has not been made. In this case no counter affidavit has been filed whereas the writ petition was filed in the year 2007. In view of the fact that amount of revised gratuity and 2 revised leave encashment was already sanctioned by the competent authority long back in the year 2001 & 2002 there is no reason to withhold the payment. Accordingly, respondents are directed to make payment of aforesaid sanctioned amount within a period of one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ petition stands disposed of. Praful (Rakesh Kumar, J.)
