The Respondent no.2 has also filed counter affidavit. Learned counsel for the Respondent/State submits that sanction order for pension and gratuity was already issued by the State authority. Earlier, in this case, an affidavit was filed on behalf 2 of the Accountant General, Bihar and stand was taken that due to non-availability of the service book and no dues certificate only provisional pension was sanctioned, but thereafter sanction order with relevant papers were received and no dues certificate was also furnished by the State authority and, as such, authorization for full pension was issued vide Authority No. Pen 09090902138443657 PG dated 29.09.2009. Neither learned counsel for the State nor learned counsel for the petitioner is in a position to inform the Court as to whether after authorization by the Office of the Accountant General, the petitioner is getting full pension or not. However, it is submitted by learned counsel for the parties that the writ petition may be disposed of with liberty to approach the competent authority in case any grievance of the petitioner still exists. In view of the stand taken by the parties, there is no need to keep the matter further pending. The writ petition stands disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to approach the Respondent no.2/ Commissioner-cum- Secretary, Department of Health, Govt. of Bihar,Patna in case of any grievance relating to the dues of the petitioner exists.
