Heard Shri Shailendra Kumar Verma, learned counsel for the petitioner, Shri R.K. Sharma, learned A.C. to S.C.27, who appears on behalf of respondent nos.1 to 8 and learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent no.9/Accountant General. The petitioner, who retired on 28.2.2010 as Section Officer from the office of Director General of Police, Bihar, Patna, has prayed for directing the respondents to pay pension, gratuity, commutation of pension, amount of G.P.F. and other retiral dues. It has further been made clear in paragraph-8 of the writ petition that after 2 retirement, the petitioner submitted all the papers within time so that he may get his all the retiral dues. However, till date, aforesaid retiral dues have not been cleared by the authority concerned. On instruction, learned counsel for the petitioner has orally informed the court that on the date of retirement of the petitioner, no proceeding either departmental or criminal was pending against him. Even then, the respondents have not taken any steps for clearing the retiral dues of the petitioner. In view of the facts and circumstances, particularly the fact that petitioner retired in the month of February,2010, it is desirable to direct the respondents to take all steps to clear all the retiral dues of the petitioner within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The court expects that respondent no.9/Accountant General, after receipt of the sanction order from the State authority, will issue authorization within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of 3 sanction order from the State authority. Thereafter, all the concerned are directed to take all steps so that all the retiral dues may be credited to the account of the petitioner without any delay. It goes without saying that petitioner shall be entitled to get admissible statutory interest on delayed payment. The respondent no.8/Director, Directorate of Provident Fund is required to make payment of the amount of G.P.F. to the petitioner within eight weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order along with admissible statutory interest. It is made clear that if it is found that on the date of retirement any proceeding whether criminal or departmental was pending against the petitioner, in that even, this order shall not be given effect to. With above observation and direction, the writ petition stands allowed. N.H./ ( Rakesh Kumar,J.)
