Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the respondent-Bank. The grievance of the petitioner is that he has not been paid the provident fund amount which is found payable to him as on 1st of January, 2008. However, the said amount has been paid on 27th of August, 2009 and as such the petitioner is entitled to interest over such delayed payment as per the rule. The other grievance of the petitioner is with regard to the payment of the amount on account of unutilized leave. 2 Mr. Mukundjee, learned counsel appearing for the respondent-Bank submits that the petitioner is not entitled to the amount of unutilized amount upon his dismissal from the service of the Bank. As regards the payment of interest, the same would be verified and if any amount is found payable, the same shall be paid as per law. In the above circumstances, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that for expeditious disposal of the pending claims, the petitioner proposes to file a fresh representation before the newly added respondent no.5-the Assistant General Manager (Personnel & H.R.D.), State Bank of India, Patna. In case such a representation is filed stating his grievances with regard to the unpaid claims as also enclosing the copy of the relevant documents, if any, in support of such claims along with the certified copy of the present order within a period of six weeks, respondent no.5 shall consider the grievances of the petitioner as raised in his representation and dispose it of in accordance with law expeditiously, preferably within a period of four months on receipt of such representation, so that the grievances of the petitioner raised in his representation could be redressed. In case the representation of the petitioner finds favour, the admissible dues, if any, could also be paid with statutory interest without further delay. Upon consideration of the representation, if any of the claims is found not payable, the same shall be disposed of by a reasoned order, which shall also be communicated to the petitioner through registered post. 3 The writ application stands disposed of with the above observations/directions.
