Whatever may have been the background to the dispute which was originally raised or the stand taken by the State with regard to the dismissal of the petitioner from service better sense has now prevailed upon the State and they have realized that no order of dismissal can be passed against an employee who has already superannuated.

This fact has been corroborated in the counter affidavit which has been filed on behalf of respondent no.2 i.e. the Director-cum-Joint Secretary, Secondary Education, Government of Bihar as well as annexure-A issued by him has been annexed, which is the letter no. 510P dated 8.10.2010.

The petitioner will have freedom to produce a copy of this order along with a copy of the said letter upon the Principal of the school in question and thereafter the concerned authority will forward the claim of the - 2 - petitioner for settlement of retiral dues within a reasonable time frame. None compliance will be viewed seriously. This writ application is disposed of with the above direction. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
