The present writ petition was filed in the year 2007 with a prayer to direct the Respondents to clear death-cum- retiral dues of husband of the petitioner, who died in harness on 21.10.2006. At the time of death, the husband of the petitioner was Night Guard at C.C.A. Depot, Biscomaun, Jehanabad. At the very outset, Sri Vikash Kumar, learned counsel 2 appearing on behalf of Respondent nos.5 to 10/Biscomaun has raised a preliminary objection on the point of maintainability of the writ petition. It was submitted that since the Biscomaun is running by a duly elected Managing Committee, the writ petition is not maintainable. However, it was submitted by Sri Vikash Kumar, learned counsel for the Biscomaun that during the pendency of the writ petition, all the death-cum- retiral dues of the husband of the petitioner has already been paid. Since all the grievances of the petitioner have already been redressed, the Court is of the opinion that preliminary objection raised by learned counsel for the Biscomaun has got no significance at the moment. In this case, no counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of Biscomaun. In view of the statement made by Sri Vikash Kumar, learned counsel for the Biscomaun regarding redressal of the grievances of the petitioner, there is no need to keep the matter further pending. The writ petition stands disposed of. However, while disposing of the writ petition, it is desirable to grant liberty to the petitioner that if any grievance still exist, the petitioner shall be at liberty to file a representation before Respondent no.6/ Managing Director, Bihar State Co-operative Marketing Union Ltd., Biscomaun Bhawan,Patna. If such representation is filed by the petitioner, the Court expects that Respondent no.6 will examine the same and pass appropriate order in accordance with law redressing grievances of the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of filing of such representation. 3 With above observation and direction, the writ petition stands disposed of.
