IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.16047 of 2006 Uma Shankar Prasad, Son of Late Balroop Sah, Resident of Civil Lines Saint Paul School Road, Near Takia Railway Pool, Sasaram, District Rohtas-821115. ---------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The Secretary cum Commissioner, P.H.E.D., Patna-15. 3. The Engineer-in-Chief, P.H.E.D., Patna-15. 4. The Chief Engineer, Design, P.H.E.D., Patna-15. 5. The Executive Engineer, Design and Planning Division No.66, Vikas Bhawan, Patna-15. ---------- Respondents ----------- 2 04.05.2010 No one appears on behalf of the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present and would submit on the basis of the averments made in the counter affidavit that the service book of the petitioner has since been traced and on the basis of that a communication has already been made to the office of the Accountant General to authorize pension and other retirement benefit of the petitioner. In that view of the matter, all that this Court would now do is to direct the office of the Accountant General to ensure that whatever admissible amount of pension, gratuity etc. is payable to the petitioner, an authority slip for the same must be issued at the earliest, if not already issued. As the other retirement benefit such as 2 Leave Encashment, Provident Fund and Group Insurance have already been paid and therefore, now the respondents are directed to ensure that the payment of pension and gratuity is made to the petitioner at the earliest and in any case within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With the aforementioned observations and direction, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
