Branch Manager, Life Insurance Corporation of India, Divisional Office, Jeevan Prakash, Mazharul Haque Path, Patna, District – Patna. ----------- 06. 20.03.2009 Petitioners were the retired employees of Zila Parishad, Gaya. They approached the Court because the payment under the GIC was not being released by the respondents. Counter affidavit came to be filed on behalf of the L.I.C. where in para 5 they gave the details of payment with cheque numbers and date which had been released by them for payment to these petitioners. Payments have accrued to all the petitioners except Ramdeo Ram. Today a reply by way of an affidavit on behalf of respondent No.2 has been filed where they have certified that they have received a sum of Rs.15,090/- which was to be made over to Ramdeo Ram but they have stated that they had genuine apprehension that this amount was on higher side and not in consonance with the - 2 - deduction which was being made from this petitioner. That was the only reason why the payment could not be released in favour of Ramdeo Ram. Keeping in mind that this amount had been released way back and petitioner Ramdeo Ram is a retired employee and that too of class IV kind, the writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the Chief Executive Officer, Zila Parishad, Gaya that he shall endeavour to take steps for release of payment to the petitioner preferably within two weeks from the date of communication / production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed of since this was the only issue left to be decided. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
