Learned counsel appearing for Electricity Board based on the counter affidavit as well as a communication dated 24.5.2006 has indicated the details of payments which have already been authorized in favour of the petitioner. From perusal of the counter affidavit it seems that petitioner was only sanctioned provisional pension in the year 2005. Since the respondents are silent on this aspect as of the current state, this writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the respondent no.2, Secretary, Bihar State Electricity Board, Vidyut Bhawan, Patna to look into the matter of authorization of final pension of the petitioner, if it has not been sanctioned already in the meanwhile. The Court expects a decision within a period of three months from the date of communication/production of a copy of this order. With regard to the demand of the petitioner for payment of statutory interest for delayed payment he has the freedom to lodge a claim before respondent no.2. - 2 - This writ application is disposed of with above direction.
