Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the respondents are required to revise pay scale of the petitioner and also to revise his pension. 2 Petitioner is getting pension, but on lower scale. After hearing the parties and in view of the facts and circumstances, particularly the fact that competent authority has already sanctioned the amount of gratuity, leave encashment, G.P.F. and G.S.S., there is no reason for the authority concerned to with hold the payment. Accordingly, the writ petition stands allowed directing the respondents, particularly respondent nos.3 and 4 i.e. General Manager-cum-Chief Engineer, Central Area Electricity Board, Patna and Electric Superintending Engineer, Bihar Sharif, Nalanda respectively to take all steps for payment of sanctioned amount of gratuity, leave encashment, G.P.F. and G.S.S. along with admissible statutory interest within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.

If 3 such representation is filed, respondent no.3 is required to examine the same and pass appropriate order in accordance with law within a period of three months from the date of filing of such representation. If respondent no.3 considers the claim of the petitioner as genuine, he is required to pass order for making correction in the pay scale as well as pension of the petitioner within aforesaid time. Even in case of refusal, respondent no.3 is required to pass a speaking order and communicate the same to the petitioner within three months from the date of filing of such representation. With above observation and direction, the writ petition stands disposed of. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
