Heard Mr. Abdul Mannan Khan, who was assisted by Shri Suman Kumar, Shri Krishan Chandra, learned A.C. to learned Advocate General appears on behalf of the respondent/State and Shri Ashok Kumar Keshri, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent nos.2 to 6. The petitioner’s husband, who was Account Assistant in R.D. & D.J. College, Munger under Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University, had retired on 31.7.1999 and subsequently on 10.11.2003 died. The petitioner claims payment of arrear of retiral dues of her husband from the date of retirement till the date of his death 2 and arrear of salary from 11.11.2003 to March,2007 along with merger of 50% Dearness relief. It has been asserted in paragraph-6 of the writ petition that petitioner is getting family pension since the month of August,2005. The petitioner has also prayed for a direction for granting merger of 50% Dearness relief on her basic pension with effect from 1.1.2005 and also for revision of her family pension in terms of Government Resolution No.820 dated 23.9.2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to Annexure-2 series to the writ petition to impress the court that the petitioner has filed representation before the competent authority. However, the University has not taken note on her representation nor she has been paid the aforesaid dues. In view of the facts and circumstances, particularly the fact that issue in relation to merger of 50% Dearness relief on basic pension and also revision of pension in terms of Government Resolution No.820 dated 23.9.2009 has 3 already been settled by this Court, the court is of the opinion that aforesaid two reliefs can be granted in same terms. Accordingly, the present writ petition so far as claim of revision of family pension of the petitioner and merger of 50% Dearness relief is allowed in terms of order dated 3.12.2010 passed in C.W.J.C. No.3616 of 2010 (Dr. Himanshu Bhushan Vs. Tilkamanjhi Bhagalpur University and others) and other connected writ petitions. The court further directs the respondent/State to immediately act upon the requisition if any send by the University for disbursement the claim of the petitioner without any delay. So far as other reliefs are concerned, the writ petition can be disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh representation before respondent no.4 i.e. Vice Chancellor, Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University within a period of six weeks from today. If such representation is filed, the respondent no.4 is required to examine the same and pass appropriate order 4 in accordance with law redressing the grievances of the petitioner and take all steps for clearing the dues, if admissible, preferably within a period of four months from the date of filing of such representation. Even in case of refusal, the respondent no.4 is directed to pass a speaking order within aforesaid time i.e. four months from the date of filing of such representation. The writ petition stands disposed of. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
