IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2736 of 2009 MEERA DEVI Versus CENTRAL BANK OF INDIA & ORS ----------- 2. 28.2.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. The grievance of the petitioner claiming to be the wife of late Korai Mehtar, a Class IV employee of the Central Bank of India, Araria Branch, is that even when her husband had died on 12.1.2003 in harness, the Bank and its authorities have not taken decision for payment of death cum retiral dues of her deceased husband. Mr. Ajay Kumar Sinha, learned counsel for the Bank, submits that normally such a period is never consumed by the Bank in deciding the case and it appears that there has been some dispute on account of which the payment of the petitioner as per her satisfaction has not been made. This Court for the time being without going into this part of dispute would only direct the Regional Manager, Central Bank of India, Bhatta Bazar, Purnea (respondent no.3) to consider the said grievance of the petitioner and pass an appropriate order within one month from the 2 date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order. It goes without saying that if the petitioner is found entitled for payment of any of the admitted amount of retiral dues of her husband, the competent authority of the Bank pursuant to the said decision of respondent no.3 must pay the same in next 15 days. This application, accordingly, stands disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
