Electrical Superintending Engineer, Bihar State Electricity Board, Electrical Circle, Patna. 4. The Electrical Executive Engineer, Electrical Supply Division, Barh, Patna. ……….. Respondents ----------- 3 9/8/2011 Heard Sri Prafull Chandra Jha, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing on behalf of all the Respondents /Bihar State Electricity Board. The present writ petition was filed with a prayer to direct the Respondents for clearing all the retrial dues. The petitioner had retired with effect from 30/9/2007 as ‘Unskilled Khalasi’ from the Office of Electric Supply Sub-Division, Bakhatiyarpur. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that during the pendency of the writ petition all the grievances of the petitioner have already been redressed. However, it was submitted that the Respondents were required to make payment of interest on delayed payment of amount of G.P.F. as well as G.S.S. but the same has not been paid. The court is also of the opinion that on delayed payment the petitioner was entitled to get interest. However, in absence of any specific pleading, it would not be appropriate for this court to record any positive finding on this issue. 2 Since most of the grievances of the petitioner have already been redressed, there is no need to further keep the matter pending. The writ petition stands disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to file a detailed representation so far as claim of interest on delayed payment of G.P.F. & G.S.S. amount is concerned before Respondent No. 2/General Manager-cum-Chief Engineer, Central Area Bihar State Electricity Board, Patna, within a period of six weeks from today. If such representation is filed, Respondent No. 2, is required to examine the same and pass appropriate order redressing the grievance of the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of filing of such representation. Respondent No. 2, is further directed to pass order for payment of interest on delayed payment of G.P.F. & G.S.S. within aforesaid time. Even in case of refusal, Respondent No. 2, is required to pass a speaking order and communicate the same to the petitioner within aforesaid time. With above observation and direction the writ petition stands disposed of. Praful (Rakesh Kumar, J.)
