The Director (Terminal Benefits), Bihar State Electricity Board, Vidyut Bhawan, Bailey Road, Patna. 4. The Executive Engineer, Electric Supply Division, Katihar. ... ... Respondents. ---------------------------------- 2. 19.9.2011. Heard Shri Alok Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Ajay Kumar Gautam, learned counsel appearing on behalf of all the respondents/Bihar State Electricity Board. The petitioner, who retired as Head Clerk from Electric Supply Division, Katihar with effect from 30.4.2010, has prayed for directing the respondents to make payment of sanctioned amount of gratuity to the tune of Rs.3,50,000/- and remaining amount of gratuity in terms of 6th Pay Revision, for revision of pension and also for payment of arrears of leave encashment for 222 days on account of revision of pension as well as interest. So far as claim of payment of sanctioned amount of gratuity is concerned, 2 learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to Annexure-2 to the writ petition, which was issued by the Director (Terminal Benefits), Bihar State Electricity Board/respondent no.3 and was communicated to respondent no.4 for its payment. Since the amount of gratuity to the tune of Rs.3,50,000/- has already been sanctioned long back, there is no reason to deny payment. Accordingly, respondents, particularly respondent no.4 is directed to make payment in the light of sanction order i.e. Annexure-2 to the writ petition for amount of Rs.3,50,000/- as gratuity to the petitioner within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. So far as other reliefs are concerned, petitioner is granted liberty to file a detailed representation before respondent no.3/Director (Terminal Benefits), Bihar State Electricity Board within a period of six weeks from today. If such representation is filed, respondent no.3 is required to examine the same and pass appropriate order in accordance with 3 law within a period of four months from the date of filing of such representation. If respondent no.3 considers the claim of the petitioner as genuine, he is required to pass order regarding payment. Even in case of refusal, respondent no.3 is required to pass a speaking order and communicate the same to the petitioner within four months from the date of filing of such representation. With above observation and direction, the writ petition stands disposed of. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
