IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11190 of 2011 Devanand Mishra, son of Late Ram Dahin Mishra, resident of Village Rasalpur, P.S. Dumra, Distt. Sitamarhi. ... ... Petitioner. Versus 1. Bihar State Electricity Board, Bailey Road, Patna through its Chairman. 2. The Chairman, Bihar State Electricity Board, Bailey Road, Patna. 3. The General Manager-cum-Chief Engineer, Bihar State Electricity Board, Tirhut Electric Supply Area, Bhagwanpur Chowk, Muzaffarpur. 4. The Electrical Superintending Engineer, Electric Supply Circle, Muzaffarpur. 5. The Electrical Executive Engineer, Electric Supply Division, Sitamarhi. ... ... Respondents. ----------- 2. 15.7.2011. Heard Shri Vaidehi Raman Prasad Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Ajay Kumar Gautam, learned counsel appearing on behalf of all the respondents/Bihar State Electricity Board. The petitioner, who retired with effect from 30.6.2010 as Head Electrician from Electric Supply Division, Sitamarhi, has prayed for directing the respondents to make payment of sanctioned amount of Provident Fund, Gratuity and Leave Encashment. Learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to Annexures 1, 2 and 3 to the writ petition, whereby the competent authority of the Electricity 2 Board had sanctioned Gratuity, G.P.F. and Leave Encashment for 225 days in favour of the petitioner. It was submitted that despite the fact that sanction order was passed some time in the month of July to September,2010, till date, no payment has been made. The petitioner has also filed representation and sent legal notice, but till date, no step has been taken by the authority concerned redressing the grievance of the petitioner. It has further been submitted that claim of T.A. Bills amounting to Rs.24,000/- and overtime to the tune of Rs.30,000/- have also not been paid. So far as claim of T.A. Bills and O.T. Bills and other are concerned, the petitioner can be granted liberty to file representation before the competent authority i.e. respondent no.3. If such representation is filed, respondent no.3 is required to examine the same and pass appropriate order in accordance with law redressing the grievances of the petitioner within a period of four months from the date of filing of such representation. 3 So far as claim of petitioner in respect of Gratuity, G.P.F. and Leave Encashment is concerned since it was already sanctioned on 27.7.2010, 19.7.2010 and 9.9.2010 respectively, the court is of the opinion that respondents can be directed to make payment of sanctioned amount without any delay. Accordingly, the respondents, particularly respondent no.3 is directed to make payment of aforesaid sanctioned amount within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With above observation and direction, the writ petition stands disposed of. It is made clear that this order will be applicable only in a case if there is no departmental proceeding/criminal proceeding pending against the petitioner. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
