IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10666 of 2003 AMIT PRABHA SAHAY Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 6 22.9.2008. From the order dated 18.5.2005 it appears that pension and gratuity were sanctioned and paid to the petitioner on provisional basis and arrears of salary was also paid. The stand was taken by the learned counsel for the State that since the petitioner was incharge Headmaster and was custodian of her service book, therefore, unless she submits the service book to the concerned respondents, amount of pension and gratuity cannot be finally fixed and paid. In the circumstances, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that liberty may be granted to the petitioner to make available her service book to the concerned respondent, if not already done, and upon her furnishing the service book to the concerned respondents her final pension and gratuity and other remaining dues under different heads may also be calculated and paid to her if not already paid. In view of the stand of the learned counsel for the petitioner, the writ petition is disposed of with the aforesaid liberty to her. It goes without saying that as and when the petitioner makes available her service book all dues shall be calculated finally and paid to her as expeditiously as possible along with statutory interest as applicable. .
