IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2767 of 2009 ARUN PRAKASH SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 2.3.2009 Heard Mr. Amber Nath Banerjee, learned counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. The grievance of the petitioner, who has retired from the service on 31.7.2007, is that till date he has been only paid some part of G.P.F. amount in the name of his retirement benefit. His grievance is that the petitioner has not been paid his full pension, gratuity, leave encashment, computation of pension. This Court is not aware as to why the authority has not paid the full pension and therefore, in the first instance the Principal Secretary of Public Health Engineering Department, Government of Bihar, is directed to consider the grievance of the petitioner. In order to expedite the matter the petitioner is given liberty to file a fresh representation to the Principal Secretary of P.H.E.D., who will dispose it of directing payment of the admitted amount within a 2 period of three months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order. It goes without saying that if the Secretary would find that if the delay in such payment is totally attributable to the governmental authority, he will direct for payment of statutory interest and on the other hand, if he finds the petitioner somehow or the other is responsible for such delay and thus not entitled for payment of interest, he would indicate the reasons in his order. It is made clear that the other part of the relief prayed by the petitioner in this writ application with regard to grant of benefit of ACP and fixation of same in the post retirement benefit has not been gone into and the petitioner if so advised may file a fresh writ petition in this regard. This application, accordingly, stands disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
