IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2351 of 2007 Tarakanth Sharma, S/o Late Mathura Pd. Sharma, Resident of Asiana Nagar, P.S. Razabazar, Dist. Patna. --------- Petitioner Versus 1. State of Bihar. 2. Vijay Raghwan, Secretary/Commissioner, Department of Industry, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 3. Amir Sahani, Secretary/Commissioner Personnel & Administrative Reforms Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 4. Arun Kr. Singh, Accountant General, Bihar. 5. Anupam Kumar, Provident Fund Commissioner, Bihar. ------- Contemnor-Opposite Parties ----------- 8 30.03.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The petitioner has still a grievance that the order of this Court dated 13.7.2007 has not been complied with in letter and spirit, inasmuch as, the interest on pensionary/terminal dues has not been paid as was directed by this Court in the aforesaid order. First of all, this Court must take into account the plea that has been taken in the show-cause reply filed by the opposite parties wherein it is categorically stated that sanction of amount including interest has already been paid. The said show-cause reply, therefore, takes care of even the due with regard to payment of interest. 2 Counsel then submits that though payment of interest may have been directed, the payment of interest on provident fund and gratuity has not been made and to that extent, he would rely to paragraph nos. 2 (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) of the reply to the show- cause. In the next, the order dated 13.7.2007 which never quantified any particular amount of interest and therefore, if the petitioner has any grievance with regard to the payment of such interest, he can always approach the authority by showing his entitlement and the amount that he was paid. As with regard to the grievance of the petitioner that actual payment of the amount sanctioned by the authority has not been paid and therefore, this Court should issue notice to the Accountant General while there was no such direction to the Accountant General in the order dated 13.7.2007, this Court cannot issue any direction to the Accountant General for payment of the same. It, however, goes without saying that the opposite parties-Government officials 3 would be under obligation to ensure that whatever amount has been sanctioned, they should be ensured to be paid to the petitioner within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
