Heard Shri Manoj Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Shri Santosh Kumar Singh, learned counsel appearing on behalf of all the respondents/Bihar State Electricity Board. The petitioner, who retired as Skilled Khalasi form the office of Electric Supply Sub Division, Samastipur (Rural), has prayed for directing the respondents to pay all his retiral dues. It was submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that though amount under the head of G.P.F., Gratuity and Leave Encashment for 225 days have already been sanctioned, payment has not been made nor respondents have taken any 2 step to fix and pay pension to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the Board had made a prayer for adjourning the case for filing counter affidavit. I have perused Annexures 1 and 3 to the writ petition whereby sanction in respect of G.P.F. and Gratuity were authorized by the competent authority. In view of the fact that amount of G.P.F., Gratuity and Leave Encashment have already been sanctioned, the court is of the opinion that instead of adjourning the case, the writ petition can be disposed of with a direction to all the respondents, particularly respondent nos.2, 3 and 6 to take all steps for payment of sanctioned amount of G.P.F., Gratuity and Leave Encashment to the petitioner within a period of six weeks from today. So far as fixation of pension and arrear of pension are concerned, respondents are directed to take steps to examine the same and take final decision within eight weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Respondents are directed to pay all admitted 3 retiral dues within eight weeks. With above observation and direction, the writ petition stands disposed of. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
