The petitioner, who retired as Chaukidar from Nalanda Building Division with effect from 30.6.2007, has prayed for directing the respondents to immediately dispose of the matter, which is still pending since long relating to revision of 2 his pension with effect from 1.1.1996 in the light of resolution of Finance Department issued by Memo No.M-2-5-19/99-6961 vi (2) dated 17.8.2007. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner had approached authority concerned for making payment of the revised pension. Even the Executive Engineer had informed the petitioner vide Annexure-8 i.e. letter no.1507 dated 17.12.2009 that he has taken step and asked the District Accounts Officer to send the papers after verification in respect of petitioner, but till date, nothing has been done by the District Accounts Officer, Nalanda at Biharsharif i.e. respondent no.9. Keeping in view the fact that the claim of the petitioner is pending since long, despite efforts being taken by some of the respondents, it is appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to all the respondents particularly respondent no.9 to take all steps for settling the grievances of the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a 3 N.H./ copy of this order. The petitioner shall also be entitled to get statutory interest on the due amount. With above direction, the petition stands allowed. ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
