IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2067 of 2009 HARI PRAKASH Versus THE BIHAR STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD ----------- 2. 11.2.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the Board. The petitioner has retired from service on 31st August, 2008 and claims that his retirement benefit has not been paid. This Court without going into the merit of such claim would direct the Secretary of the Board to consider the grievance of the petitioner and take a decision as with regard to admitted claim of retirement benefit of the petitioner. Such admitted claim of the petitioner will also be paid to him strictly in accordance with seniority of the date of retirement, meaning thereby any person who has retired prior to the petitioner must be paid his retirement benefit. The petitioner will also be paid all his retirement benefit in his turn which would mean that the pension, G.P.F. and G.S.S. will be paid within a month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order and other benefits like amount of 2 gratuity and leave encashment will be paid to him in his turn, i.e. on the basis of date of retirement and priority list maintained by the Board in this regard. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
