Heard Shri Sanjay Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner, Shri Parth Sharthi, learned S.C.10, who appears on behalf of respondent nos.1 to 5 and Shri Prabhat Ranjan, learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent no.6/Accountant General. The petitioner, who retired with effect from 30.11.2008 as Amin from the office of Executive Engineer, Saran Canal Division, Gandak Project, Maharajganj, District Siwan, has prayed for directing the respondents to start paying pension. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that except pension, other retiral dues have already been paid to the petitioner. 2 In paragraph-9 of the writ petition, a specific averment has been made that during the service period, petitioner’s service was fully satisfactory and no charges or show cause was ever made against him before retirement. However, without any rhyme and reason, the authority concerned has not fixed his pension. In view of the averment made in paragraph-9 of the writ petition as well as the fact that other retiral dues have already been paid and the petitioner retired in the year 2008, the court is of the opinion that writ petition can be allowed at this stage directing the respondents to take immediate steps for fixing final pension and start paying pension to the petitioner. The respondent/ State authority are directed to immediately issued sanction in respect of pension of the petitioner within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Court expects that respondent no.6/Accountant General shall issue authorization within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of sanction 3 from the State authority. With above observation and direction, the writ petition stands allowed. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
