VERSUS 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The Secretary-cum-Commissioner, Department of Education, Government of Bihar, Patna. 3. Director, Primary Education, Government of Bihar, Patna. 4. The Regional Deputy Director of Education, Patna Division, Patna. 5. The District Superintendent of Education, Patna. 6. The District Superintendent of Education, Nalanda. 7. The Headmaster-cum-Drawing and Disbursing Officer Upgraded Middle School, Isua, Nalanda. ………….Respondents. ----------- 02 16.03.2009 The petitioner retired as an Assistant Teacher, from upgraded Middle School, Isua, Circle-Giriyak, District-Nalanda. He is drawing his retirement benefits through Middle School, Durgapur, District-Nalanda, Headmaster whereof is the Drawing and Disbursing authority. So far as petitioner’s pensionary benefits are concerned, petitioner’s grievance is that consequent to the Third Pay Commission report and the decision of the State Government taken at that time part of the arrears of salary consequent to increment had to be deposited in the G.P.F. though petitioner was entitled to this amount. The same was not deposited in his G.P.F. and accordingly petitioner prays that he be directed to be paid the same amount with interest in his G.P.F. account. Petitioner further states that he had made representation in this regard and having got the matter enquired into and whereof the District Superintendent of Education, Nalanda vide his memo no. 1040 dated 15.03.2007 ordered that the petitioner be paid the principal amount of Rs. 1276/- along with interest amounting to Rs. 24,143/-, the petitioner 2 is not being paid the said amount. Learned counsel for the State states that he has received instructions in the matter and the District Superintendent of Education, Nalanda ensuring the payment, as directed by him. He has already issued directions to the Headmaster, Middle School, Durgapur, Giriyak Nalanda. In my view, no useful purpose would be served in keeping the writ petition pending. I direct the District Superintendent of Education, Nalanda that the aforesaid amount is paid to the petitioner at earliest but not later than 45 days from the date of production of a copy of this order before him. With this direction, the writ petition stands disposed of. Trivedi/ (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
