Provident Fund Officer, Nagar Parishad, Buxar. ... ... Respondents. ----------- 2. 22.7.2011. Heard Shri Ravindra Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Prabhat Kumar Singh, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent no.2/Nagar Parishad, Buxar. The petitioner, who retired with effect from 31.10.2004 as Tax Collector from Buxar Nagar Parishad, has prayed for directing the respondents to make payment of all the retiral dues. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that despite the fact that petitioner retired in the year 2004, still major portion of retiral dues have not been cleared. The writ petition was filed in the year 2007. However, till date, no counter affidavit has been filed. In view of the fact that petitioner retired in the year 2004 and writ petition 2 was filed in the year 2007 and till date, no counter affidavit has been filed, the court is of the opinion that the writ petition can be disposed of at this stage even in absence of counter affidavit. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of directing the respondent no.2/Executive Officer, Nagar Parishad, Buxar to take all steps for payment of all the admitted dues of the petitioner within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It is made clear that petitioner shall be entitled to get admissible statutory interest on delayed payment. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
