IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13745 of 2007 CHANDESHWARI YADAV @ GOPAL YAD Versus UNION OF INDIA &ORS ----------- 6. 3.12.2010 The sole petitioner, claiming to be son of an employee of the Food Corporation of India, who took voluntary retirement has prayed for release of arrear G.P.F., gratuity and other retrial dues in his favour. In this case a counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondent no.s 2 to 4/ Food Corporation of India. In the counter affidavit, stand has been taken that besides petitioner one Smt. Sharda Devi claiming herself to be second wife, filed petition and prayed for retrial dues and as such vide Annexure- D i.e. letter no. 2232 dated 2.7.2008 the Assistant General Manager (respondent no.3) intimated the petitioner that final payment of G.P.F. and granting of final pension will be settled only after production of succession certificate from appropriate Board. In view of the fact that there is dispute regarding the claimant the Food Corporation has rightly asked the petitioner to produce succession certificate for clearing the dues in his favour. I do not find that any mistake has been committed by the authority concerned. Accordingly the writ petition is disposed of with a direction that if the petitioner produces succession certificate granted by appropriate Court the authority concerned i.e respondent no.s 2 to 4 shall take step immediately for release of the dues. All steps should be taken within a period of two months from the date of production of succession certificate. With above direction and observation the petition stands disposed of.
