The grievance of the petitioner is with regard to the payment of pension and gratuity and other retiral dues, as highlighted in the writ application. Learned counsel appearing for the respondents submits that the petitioner is not entitled to receive any pension in view of the Division Bench decision of this Court in the case of State of Bihar v.

No.377 of 2006 (Geeta Devi v. The State of Bihar & ors.), the matter has been admitted for hearing by a Full - 2 - Bench, vide order dated 3.4.2007. The learned counsel for the parties submits that the writ application may be disposed of directing the respondent concerned to consider the entitlements and payment of the admitted dues, if any, to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that for expeditious payment of the admitted dues, the petitioner shall be placing his claims before the District Superintendent of Education, Chapra (respondent no.5), with a copy to the Director, Primary Education, Human Resources Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. In case such a representation is filed stating the details of his grievances as also enclosing the copy of the relevant documents, if any, in support of such claims along with the certified copy of the present order within a period of four weeks, the grievances of the petitioner as raised in his representation be considered in accordance with law expeditiously, preferably within a period of six months on receipt of such representation.
