IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13300 of 2001 MASOOD AHMAD SIDDIQUI Versus THE BIHAR STATE ELEC.BOARD &OR ----------- 8/ 3-Sep-08 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the Respondents-Board. A counter affidavit has been filed today in Court and in paragraph-6 thereof the Respondents- Board has accepted the petitioner's claim that he is being treated to have retired on 31.12.2003 and not w.e.f 30.8.2001 as earlier communicated to him. Thus the main grievance of the petitioner has been redressed by the Respondents-Board. From the counter affidavit it further appears that he has been given several letters since 21.11.2003 to submit his papers and records for the approval of pensionary benefits on the basis of his correct date of retirement i.e. 31.12.2003 but the petitioner has not submitted the papers as yet. Learned counsel for the petitioner has fairly submitted that now the petitioner has to submit the papers and records to claim pensionary benefits on the basis of corrected date of retirement. However, he has made a grievance that the Respondents have not mentioned anywhere that petitioner shall be paid his salary and remuneration till 31.12.2003. 2 In the facts and circumstances of the case, this writ petition is disposed of after noticing that petitioner had already been given the main relief sought by him and now his date of retirement has been accepted by the Board as 31.12.2003. The authorities are directed to give all the consequential benefits to the petitioner including dues of his salary and other allowances till 31.12.2003 as would have been paid to him if he had continued in service till that date. The pensionary benefits shall also be revised accordingly and all the dues should be paid to the petitioner at the earliest preferably within three months from the date of production/communication of a copy of this order before the concerned Board. perwez (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
