IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9360 of 2007 JUSTICE HARI LAL AGRAWAL Versus THE UNION OF INDIA & ORS ----------- For the petitioner : Mr. Sanjiv Kumar Mishra For the SBI : Mr. P.K. Shahi, Advocate General with Mr. S.P. Tripathi & Mr. T.K.Jha, Senior advocate. ----- 6. 6.5.2008. We are aghast to see that a retired Chief Justice of the Court has to approach this Court complaining failure of the State Bank of India to credit his post retrial dues in his account.. During the pendency of the writ application, his grievance has been remedied. When it can be done after filing of the writ application, why was it not done earlier. We being not satisfied only on that account, directed the Chief General Manager, Local Head Office and the Branch Manager, State Bank of India to be personally present before this Court. In response thereto, they are present in person. Our object is to see that pensioners, like the petitioner may not have to approach this Court for credit of the amount, they are entitled. In the supplementary counter affidavit filed on behalf of Respondent Nos.6 and 7, it has 2 been stated that the Manager (Accounts) of Boring Road Branch of the Bank and Deputy Manager, (CPPC) have been found, prima facie, responsible for lethargic approach in the matter. It has been further stated that Centralised Pension Processing Centre shall be made effective for the aforesaid purpose. The Chief General Manager, who is present in Court assures us that guilty shall be punished and Bank will take necessary steps to mitigate the hardship of the pensioners. In view of aforesaid assurance, we do not want to proceed in the matter any further. Writ application stands disposed off accordingly. (C.K.Prasad, ACJ) (J.N. Singh) ahk
