The original writ petitioner Gautam Prasad Verma, who retired as Junior Engineer while working under respondent no.7, had - 2 - filed the writ application for a direction to pay all his retiral dues. However, during the pendency of the writ application, the original writ petitioner died and he was substituted by his widow Aruna Verma. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the original writ petitioner was paid provisional pension and provisional gratuity. However, other dues on account of provident fund, leave encashment and certain arrears of salary have remained to be paid even though there was neither any departmental proceeding nor criminal proceeding pending against the original writ petitioner. Learned counsel appearing for the State submits that the unpaid claims of the petitioner need to be verified from the record. Learned counsel appearing for the Accountant General submits that no sanction order has been received by the Office of the Accountant General for issuance of final pension and gratuity. In the above circumstances, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that for expeditious disposal of her grievances, the petitioner proposes to present all her unpaid claims by way of representation before the Executive Engineer, Building Construction Division, Bettiah, West Champaran (respondent no.7), with a copy each to respondents no.4, 6 and 9.

However, upon consideration, if any of the claims or any part of the claims is found not admissible, the same may be informed to the petitioner with the reasons thereof. The writ application stands disposed of with the above observations/directions. PNM (Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
