The petitioner in the writ petition has prayed for directing the respondents to pay all death-cum-retiral dues of her husband and also for fixing final family pension and start paying the same. The husband of the petitioner, while posted at Muzaffarpur as A.S.I. died on 10.11.2006. However, till date, all death-cum-retiral dues of her husband have not been paid nor final family pension has been fixed. In this case, a counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondent 2 no.3/Superintendent of Police, Muzaffarpur wherein it has been indicated that Service Book of husband of the petitioner was not available and now direction has been issued for re-construction of the new Service Book. In paragraph-11, it has been made clear that within a fortnight, Service Book is likely to be re-constructed. It has further been indicated that petitioner is getting provisional family pension at the rate of Rs.4,500/- per month, which was paid till the month of July,2011. In view of the fact that there is no dispute regarding the claim of the petitioner, the writ petition is being disposed of directing the respondents, particularly respondent no.3 to take all steps so that final family pension may be fixed within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order and thereafter, the respondent no.4/Accountant General is required to issue authorization within four weeks from the date of receipt of sanction order from the State authority. It is further made clear that after issuance of authorization without 3 any delay, all the amount should be credited to the account of the petitioner. Regarding other death-cum-retiral dues also, respondents are directed to take all steps for clearance and payment within eight weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It goes without saying that petitioner shall be entitled to get admissible statutory interest on delayed payment. The writ petition stands allowed. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
