Learned counsel for the Patna High Court has informed us that petitioner had preferred a representation before the High Court and the same was considered by the Standing Committee in its meeting held on 17-11-2009 and by resolution of that date against Agenda Item No. XIX the representation has been allowed. Accordingly, 10% of his pension and gratuity which had been withheld after his retirement is now to be released along with permissible statutory interest. In view of such decision of the Standing Committee of the Patna High Court, the writ petition for the same very relief has become infructuous. It is, accordingly, disposed of with a direction to the other respondents, the State of Bihar and Accountant General, Bihar to process the claim of the petitioner expeditiously. The consequential reliefs by way of payment of arrears or revision 2 of the pension should be made available to the petitioner without any delay, preferably, within two months.
