Heard Shri Sanjeev Kumar Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioner, Shri Umesh Kumar, learned A.C. to G.P.I, who appears on behalf of respondent nos.1 to 6 and learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent no.7/Accountant General, Bihar. The petitioner, who retired with effect from 30.9.2010 as Headmaster, Nagarpalika Middle School, Khagaul, Danapur in the district of Patna, has prayed for directing the respondents to make payment of Pension, Gratuity, Leave Encashment and other legal dues. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there is no reason for the respondent authority to with hold the 2 retiral dues of the petitioner since there was no departmental proceeding or any proceeding pending against the petitioner either on the date of retirement or till date. In view of the facts and circumstances, particularly the fact that the petitioner retired on 30.9.2010, there is no reason to keep the matter pending. The writ petition stands allowed directing the respondents, particularly respondent no.6 to take all steps for finalization of all the retiral dues of the petitioner within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order and send sanction order to the Accountant General within aforesaid time. The court expects that Accountant General/respondent no.7 will issue authorization within four weeks from the date of receipt of sanction from the State authority. With above observation and direction, the writ petition stands disposed of. It is made clear that this order 3 will be applicable only in a case if there is no departmental proceeding/criminal proceeding pending against the petitioner. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
