Respondents ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Chakradhari Sharan Singh, Advocate For the Union of India : Mr. Arun Kumar Arun, C.G.C. Mr. Siyaram Pandey, Advocate ----------- 5. 13.1.2009. There is no dispute that vide P.P.O. No.S/3054/2003, the petitioner was granted 50% pension by the competent authority. Based on the same, certain payments have already accrued in favour of Bhuneshwar Singh, but certain doubts have been raised by the Bank, which is the Central Bank of India, with regard to certain additional claim, which has been made by the petitioner. A reflection of which is evident from letter 25.4.2006 which has been addressed to the Defence Security Corps Records, Mill Road, Cannanore, Kerala. This is in reference to the letter No. PEN/SP-3/4252871/393 dated 18.3.2004. The original petitioner is dead and the widow survives. From the communications which have been brought on record along with the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents, this Court is - 2 - unable to pass any categorical order as to the quantum of money which the ex-employee is entitled to, if at all. In view of the same, the Court directs respondent No.6 i.e. Officer in Charge Records (Raksha Suraksha Corps Records, Mill Road, Cannanore, 670013, Kerala to respond to the communication of the Bank dated 25.04.2006 and put the doubt or the demand of the original petitioner to rest at the earliest. The Court expects that a communication will be made with the Central Bank of India, Ami Branch in the district of Saran at Chapra within a period of eight weeks from the date of communication/production of a copy of this order. The writ application is disposed of with the above direction. Pawan/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
