IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.15766 of 2011 Ramashis Ram, Son of Late Snehi Ram, Resident of Quarter No. 205, Kaushal Nagar, Off- Poloro, P.O. – G.P.O., P.S. – Aerodram, Town and District – Patna. …………………… Petitioner Versus 1. Rajendra Agricultural University, Bihar, Pusa, Samastipur, through its Registrar. 2. The Vice Chancellor, Rajendra Agricultural University, Bihar, Pusa, Samastipur. 3. The Comptroller, Rajendra Agricultural University, Bihar, Pusa, Samastipur. 4. The Associate Dean-cum-Principal, Bihar Veterinary College, Shekhpura, Patna- 14. ………….. Respondents ---------------------------------- 2 15.09.2011 Heard Sri Gajanan Arun, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Prakash Mahto, learned counsel appearing on behalf of all the Respondents/Rajendra Agricultural University, Bihar, Patna. The petitioner, who retired as ‘Assistant’ from Bihar Veterinary College, Sheikhpura, Patna on 31.05.2009 has prayed for directing the Respondents to commute 40% of pension and pay commuted value of the said amount and also for clearing part amount under the group insurance scheme. It was submitted that petitioner has also filed representation before Respondent No. 2 regarding claim in the present writ petition. However, neither the claim has been redressed nor any decision has been taken on his representation. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that in the University other similarly situated employees are being granted the privilege of receiving commuted value of 2 pension but no order has been passed in respect of petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to ‘Annexure -3’ to the writ petition i.e. an office order contained in memo no. 1158 dated 09.09.2004. It was submitted that the Rajendra Agricultural University has already adopted a policy for granting commuted value of pension to its employees. In view of the fact that petitioner has already represented before Respondent No. 2, the court is of the opinion that writ petition can be disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to file fresh representation before Respondent No. 2. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh representation in respect of claim in the present writ petition before Respondent No. 2/Vice-Chancellor, Rajendra Agricultural University, Bihar, Pusa, Samastipur within a period of six weeks from today. If such representation is filed, Respondent No. 2 is required to examine the same in the light of ‘Annexure – 3’ to the writ petition and take final decision within a period of three months from the date of filing of such representation. If Respondent No. 2 considers the claim of the petitioner as genuine, he is required to pass order for clearing the dues within aforesaid time. Even in case of refusal, Respondent No. 2 is required to pass a speaking 3 order and communicate the same to the petitioner within three months from the date of filing of such representation. The writ petition stands disposed of. Praful ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
