THE FINANCE CONTROLLER, NAMELY, B.K.TRIPATHI, BISCOMAUN, BISCOMAUN BHAWAN, NEAR GANDHI MAIDAN, PATNA :-- OPPOSITE PARTIES. ----------- 6. 21.04.2010. Show-cause has been filed on behalf of the authorities of the BISCOMAUN and rejoinder has been filed by the petitioner. Both are taken on record. It appears from paragraph-6 of the show-cause that the admitted retiral dues of the petitioner has been paid but the remaining terminal dues is not being paid as there is a departmental proceeding stood initiated against the petitioner way back in the year 1993 and until such proceeding is quashed by the competent court or the authority this Court cannot ask the authorities of the BISCOMAUN to make payment of the remaining terminal dues. In view of the fact that the admitted retiral dues has been paid to the petitioner, this contempt application is disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to question the charge-sheet and the departmental proceeding initiated against him before the Registrar, Co-operative Societies requesting him to quash the charge- sheet on the ground of delay as the same was initiated in the year 1993 although the allegation is of the year 1981.
