RESPONDENTS ----------- 2/ 08.03.2011 Heard Sri Jitendra Kumar Roy, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Rajesh Kumar Sinha, learned A.C. to Government Pleader No. 21. The present writ petition was filed primarily with a prayer to direct the respondents to fix pension and other retiral dues of the petitioner calculating the same, granting 2nd Time Bound Promotion/A.C.P. with effect from 7.5.1991 and make payment of pension amount of leave encashment, gratuity, arrears of salary. It was further prayed to direct the respondents to make payment of Rs. 500/- with admissible interest which was deposited by the petitioner in the year 1966. In this case, counter affidavit has been filed by the respondent State from which it is evident that all the retiral dues have already been paid. However, in respect of amount of 2 Rs. 500/-, which was said to be deposited as caution money, it has been stated that record is not available in the office of Sub- Divisional Agriculture Officer (Extension) Jamui. Learned counsel for the petitioner, Sri Jitendra Kumar Roy, has not disputed the fact that other retiral dues have already been paid and however it was submitted that the amount of Rs. 500/- has not been cleared with admissible interest by the Department. Regarding Rs. 500/-, a statement has been made by the petitioner that same was deposited by the petitioner in the Office of Block Development Officer, Mohanpur, as security bond. The court is of the opinion that amount of security bond which has been said to be deposited by the petitioner may not be considered as retiral dues. The petitioner, if so advised, can approach appropriate forum for recovery of the said amount. The petition stands disposed of. Praful /- (Rakesh Kumar, J.)
