The petitioner’s husband died on 1.4.2006, while functioning as family planning worker in Primary Health Centre, Naubatpur, Patna.

In view of the facts and circumstances as well as pleading, the 2 petitioner is granted liberty to file representation so far as revision of pension is concerned before the competent authority within a period of six weeks from today. If such representation is filed, it is expected that same will be examined in its right perspective without any further delay within a period of three months from the date of filing of such representation. So far as amount of G.P.F. is concerned, keeping in view the fact that the petitioner’s husband died in harness in the year 2006, it is desirable to direct the respondent no.5/District Provident Fund Officer, Patna to pay all the amount of G.P.F. within a period of one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order along with statutory admissible interest, which is to be calculated till the date of payment.
