Respondents ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Ajey Kumar, Advocate For the Respondent Board: Mr. Binod Kumar, Advocate ----------- 2. 9.2.2009. Petitioner retired on 31.7.2008 and has rushed to the Court because he apprehends that the respondents will take their own sweet time in sanctioning and paying post retiral dues to him. Whether the petitioner has been forced to file the writ application because of the past experience of the employees or the general impression of inaction in such matters by the respondent Electricity Board is not known, but keeping in view a categorical statement made in the counter affidavit that positive steps are being taken to work out the liability of the petitioner and also to authorize his pension, the writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the respondent no.3 that needful be done within a period of six months from the date of communication/production of a copy of this order. Needless to say that the payment of post retiral dues will carry the necessary statutory interest and the petitioner does not have to - 2 - come back to the Court for a separate direction in this regard.
