Anupam Kumar, Director, General Provident Fund, Pant Bhawan, Patna… Opposite parties. 3 30.9.2008 This contempt petition has been filed for disobedience of an interim order passed on 23.8.2007 in the connected writ petition by which this court had directed the opposite parties to sanction the pension of the petitioner within a month. A show cause has been filed on behalf of the Accountant General as well as the State. The petitioner has also filed rejoinder to the show cause of opposite party no.4 and the State. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that memo no. 1637, dated 24.12.2007 indicates that pension of the petitioner had been stopped. On perusal of this document I find that this order has been passed setting aside the earlier order issued vide memo no. 1305, dated 24.12.2005 and the petitioner was to collect his pension from the Secretariat Treasury. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of opposite party 2 no.4 has submitted that despite notices issued to the petitioner on 18.12.2007 and 14.1.2008, he has not turned up to receive his pension amount. In the circumstances I direct that the petitioner should receive his pension amount from the Secretariat Treasury. The final claim will be decided in the writ petition. This contempt petition stands disposed of with the aforesaid direction to the petitioner. haque (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
