But he has oral instruction to inform the Court that despite authorization of pension and gratuity on 20th March, 2007 petitioner has not been paid any amount till date. Learned counsel also brings to my notice a communication dated 16.9.2006 the District Superintendent of Education has written a letter No. 716 with regard to difference of salary from March 1989 till December 1989. Even this amount according to the counsel has not been paid to the petitioner. The writ application is disposed of with a categorical direction upon the District Superintendent of Education, Patna as well as the Treasury Officer, Patna that they shall ensure that the petitioner is paid his final pension and gratuity based on the authorization of 20th March 2007. If any revalidation is required to the authorization issued earlier the matter would be looked into and sorted out by the level of District Superintendent of Education. He shall - 2 - ensure payment of arrears of salary as indicated above. The Court expects that these payments will be made over to the petitioner within four weeks of the employees’ strike getting over. The writ application is disposed of with the above direction. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
