IX. For Chapra Nagar Parishad : Mr. Gyan Prakash, Adv. 13 25.08.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the Chapra Municipal Corporation now named as Chapra Nagar Parishad. Learned counsel for the petitioner has brought to the notice of this Court an order passed by a Bench of this Court in a large number of cases in which direction has been issued by which petitioners have been allowed to file representation for payment of retiral dues before the respondent Chief Executive Officer of the Nagar Parishad within three weeks and the Chief Executive Officer has been directed to consider the same and pass orders in accordance with law as early as possible and in any case, within a period of three months from the date of filing of representation. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that this application may also be 2 disposed of in terms of the said order of the learned Single Judge dated 12.3.2007 passed in C.W.J.C. No. 7855 of 2001 and other analogous cases. In the circumstances, this writ application is disposed of in terms of the said order. Petitioner shall be at liberty to file representation before the Chief Executive Officer who shall consider the same within three months from the date of filing of such representation strictly in terms of the said order of the learned Single Judge as referred to above. It goes without saying that if the services of other employees of the Nagar parishad under identical situation have been converted into a pensionable service and they have been allowed pension after retirement, after refund of all amount of C.P.F. along with interest, then the petitioner shall also be treated in the same manner and will be given the benefit. In case the claim of the petitioner is denied then the Chief Executive Officer shall pass a reasoned order and communicate it to the petitioner within that period. 3 With the above observations and directions this writ application is disposed of.
