The petitioner, who retired as Skilled Khalasi from the office of respondent no.9, Electrical Executive Engineer, Electric Supply Division, Barauni, Begusarai with effect from 28.2.2010, has prayed for directing the respondents to make payment of amount of G.P.F., gratuity and leave encashment.

Mr. Nilu Agrawal, learned counsel appearing for the Bihar State Electricity Board, Patna submits that payment will be made according to the seniority list which has been prepared by the 2 Electricity Board. However, she does not oppose the disposal of the writ petition with a direction to the respondent no.4 i.e. the General Manager-cum-Chief Engineer, Mithila Electric Supply Area, Darbhanga for passing the order for redressal of the grievance of the petitioner. So far as plea taken by learned counsel for the Bihar State Electricity Board, Patna that payment will be made in accordance with list prepared by the Board is concerned, the court is of the opinion that since the petitioner has approached this court for enforcing his right for recovery of retiral dues, payment may be made to the petitioner as per the direction of this court. With the consent of the parties, the writ petition is being disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh representation before respondent no.4 i.e. i.e. the General Manager- cum-Chief Engineer, Mithila Electrical Supply Area, Darbhanga within a period of six weeks from today. If such representation is filed the respondent no.4 is directed to examine the same and pass an appropriate order for redressing the grievances of the petitioner and payment of all the admitted dues should be made within a period of three months from the date of filing of such representation. It is made clear that the petitioner shall be entitled to get statutory interest on delayed payment. The writ petition stands disposed of with the observation and direction, as indicated above. Md.S.
