IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15432 of 2006 RADHIKA KUMARI VERMA, Wife of Late Shivajee Singh, Resident of Village – Amarpur, P.S. - Makhdumpur, District – Jehanabad. --------- Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR through the Chief Secretary, Government of Bihar, Patna. 2. The Director, Health Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 3. The Accountant General, Bihar, Patna. 4. The Chief Medical Officer, Jehanabad. 5. The District Provident Fund Officer, Jehanabad. 6. The District Account Officer, Jehanabad. 7. The District Treasury Officer, Jehanabad. 8. The In-charge Block Medical Officer, Makhdumpur, District – Jehanabad. ---- Respondents ----------- 2 6/5/2011 Heard Sri Anil Kumar Saxena, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Sanjeev Kumar Mishra, learned A.C. to Standing Counsel No. 8. Learned counsel for the State submits that during the pendency of the writ petition all the grievances of the petitioner have already been redressed. Sri Saxena, learned counsel for the petitioner does not dispute the stand taken by the state counsel but submits that on delayed payment no interest has been paid. In this case, two counter affidavits were filed on behalf of respondent nos. 5 & 6, in the year 2007. However, no rejoinder to the counter affidavits have been filed. Since all the grievances of the petitioner have already been redressed, there is no need to further keep the matter pending. So far as claim of interest is concerned, in the writ petition no such averment was made but keeping in view the facts and circumstances, it is desirable to grant liberty to the petitioner to file representation before the authority concerned claiming interest on delayed payment. If such representation is filed, it is expected, that same will be examined in its right perspective without any delay. Praful (Rakesh Kumar, J.)
