Petitioner is stated to be a Panchayat Secretary. Many a things have been stated in the writ application but the same are not of significance in view - 2 - of the fact that the State in its affidavit has categorically stated in paragraph 9 that the Last Pay Certificate of the petitioner has already been sent to the Block Development Officer, Turkauliya but the Last Pay Certificate also indicates that there is outstanding dues of Rs.1,47,011/- against the petitioner. That is the amount which was drawn by the petitioner to carry out different works under different Heads while he was posted at Tetariya Block. Since this amount has been shown to be not adjusted, reflection is there in the L.P.C. Since the respondents have already issued L.P.C. of the petitioner in favour of the Block Development Officer of Turkauliya Block, that aspect of the matter has been sorted out. But the petitioner owes explanation with regard to the withdrawal which he has done while posted at Tetariya Block. Since it is a matter of accounting, petitioner would be the best person to explain this amount and satisfy the authorities about the correctness of the outstanding demand reflected in the Last Pay Certificate. If the petitioner was desirous, he can get this amount explained, reconciled or adjusted by his - 3 - explanation and the moment it is done, petitioner would be entitled to payment of salary or else the respondents would be left with no option but to adjust this amount from the salary of the petitioner as public fund and money will have to be accounted for. This writ application is disposed of with the above liberty and direction. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
