Respondents. ---------------------------------- 2. 18.8.2011. Heard Shri Abhinay Raj, learned counsel for the petitioner, Shri J.P. Karn, learned A.A.G.4, who appears on behalf of respondent nos.1 to 5 and learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent no.6/Accountant General. The petitioner, who retired with effect from 31.10.2007 as Village Level Worker (V.L.W.) from Ekangarsarai, Nalanda, has prayed for directing the respondents to pay pension, gratuity and commuted value of pension for which authorization by the Accountant General was already issued. It was submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that after retirement, petitioner was getting provisional pension. However, he received provision pension only up to 30.4.2008 and thereafter 2 authorization for final pension, gratuity and commutation value of pension was issued, but Treasury Officer, Hilsa, on one ground or the other, is delaying the payment. In view of the facts and circumstances, the court is of the opinion that the writ petition can be disposed of directing the respondent no.5/Treasury Officer, Hilsa, Nalanda to immediately release the payment in the light of authorization issued by the Accountant General. All steps should be taken within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With above observation and direction, the writ petition stands disposed of.
