IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7718 of 2008 MOSTT.KALYANI DEVI Versus THE M.D., BIHAR STATE FOOD & CIVIL SUPPLIES CORPORATION LTD. ----------- 03 29.01.2009 This writ petition was disposed of by order dated 27.01.2009, the case has been re-listed under the heading “To be Mentioned”, as due to inadvertence, an Interlocutory Application being I.A. No. 309 of 2009 was not taken up. In the said I.A. the petitioner has annexed a letter from the District Manager, Giridih of the Corporation making a demand of about Rs. 38 lacs from the petitioner in respect of an alleged advance of about Rs. 10 lacs taken by him during his service period prior to his death. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that during life time of petitioner’s late husband no efforts were made to recover that amount. She has not availed of any such advance taken by her late husband as no particulars are mentioned here. On her behalf, it is submitted that such an amount cannot be recovered from the petitioner and that too, after the death of the service holder. In my view, these are matters which the petitioner would be required to raise at the first instance before the authorities. The authorities would have to consider the objections as raised above and any other that may be raised and decide the matter, but that decision cannot delay settlement of petitioner’s death-cum-retirement claim. The Interlocutory Application is accordingly disposed of as well. Trivedi/ (Navaniti Prasad Singh,J.) - 2 -
