IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1811 of 2009 BUDHDEO TIWARI Versus THE BIHAR STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD & ORS. ----------- 2 5/2/2009 Heard counsel for the parties. There is no dispute that the petitioner is entitled for certain retirement benefits. The petitioner has retired on 30.6.2006 and till date his retirement benefits have not been paid. In that view of the matter, this Court would direct the Secretary of the Board to look into this aspect of the matter and pass an order for payment of admitted dues within a period of three months from the date of filing of representation by the petitioner along with order of this Court. The Secretary of the Board, however, will not direct for payment of retirement benefit of the petitioner only but would ensure that retirement benefits of all the person who have retired before the petitioner are also paid their admitted dues as per priority fixed by the Board based on the date of their retirement. It goes without saying that while 2 paying the admitted dues to the petitioner he will be definitely entitled for statutory interest on the said retirement benefits namely, GPF and GSS. With the aforementioned direction and observation this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.) Abhay Kumar
