IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6320 of 2011 AWADHESH PANDEY SON OF LATE DWARIKA PANDEY, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE PIULI, P.S. MIRGANJ, DISTRICT GOPALGANJ. ... ... PETITIONER. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE AGRICULTURE DIRECTOR, AGRICULTURAL DIRECTORATE, BIHAR, PATNA. 3. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, GOPALGANJ. 4. THE SUB-DIVISIONAL AGRICULTURE OFFICER, GOPALGANJ, DISTRICT GOPALGANJ. 5. THE TREASURY OFFICER, GOPALGANJ, DISTRICT GOPALGANJ. 6. THE ACCOUNTANT GENERAL, BIHAR, PATNA. ... ... RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2. 7.4.2011. Heard Smt. Poonam Kumari, learned counsel for the petitioner, Shri Arjun Prasad, learned A.C. to S.C.24, who appears on behalf of respondent nos.1 to 5 and Shri Ramjas Singh, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent no.6/Accountant General. The petitioner, who retired with effect from 30.11.2010 as Agricultural Inspector from Agriculture Sub Division, Gopalganj, has prayed for directing the respondents, particularly respondent no.5/Treasury Officer, Gopalganj to immediately release his all the retiral dues, which include full pension, gratuity, leave encashment and difference of salary. Learned counsel for the petitioner has 2 drawn my attention to Annexure-1 series to the petition whereby Accountant General has issued Pension Intimation Memo on 15th December,2010, D.C.R. Gratuity Payment Order on 16th December,2010 and Commutation Payment Order on 16.12.2010. Despite authorization issued by the Accountant General, it was submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that respondent no.5/Treasury Officer, on one way or the others, is delaying the payment. In view of the facts and circumstances, the court is of the opinion that once authorization has been issued by the Accountant General, the respondent no.5 cannot sit tight over the matter. The petition stands allowed with a direction to respondent no.5 to immediately release the sanctioned amount in favour of the petitioner. All the process is to be completed within a period of one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ petition stands allowed. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
