The petitioner, who retired as Headmistress from D.K. Girls Middle School, Buxar on 31.5.2010, has prayed for directing the respondents for clearing her all retiral dues. It has been stated by learned counsel for the petitioner that till date, nothing has been paid to the petitioner. The petitioner repeatedly represented before the authority concerned 2 for clearing her retiral dues. In paragraph-13 of the writ petition, specifically it has been mentioned that no departmental proceeding was going on against her nor any allegation of corruption or misappropriation of Government fund was alleged against the petitioner. Even then the authority concerned has not cleared her retiral dues. The writ petition was filed on 23.8.2011. Learned counsel for the State Shri Dinbandhu Singh submits that he has already sent letter to the department. In view of the fact that petitioner retired long back on 31.5.2010 and also statement made on oath that there was no departmental proceeding or any criminal proceeding pending against her and till date, no retiral dues have been paid, the court is of the opinion that writ petition can be disposed of at this stage directing the respondents to take steps to clear all admitted retiral dues of the petitioner within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The respondent no.6 is required 3 to issue authorization within four weeks from the date of receipt of sanction order from the State authority. Respondents/State are directed to issue sanction order in respect of full pension, gratuity, leave encashment etc. within eight weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
