Rajgrihar, learned counsel for the Accountant General are present. During the pendency of the proceedings almost the entire post retiral and other dues as claimed by the petitioner has been paid including the final fixation of pension and gratuity as well as disbursement thereof. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits yet the claim of the petitioner towards dearness allowance at the rate of 4% from 1.7.2003 to 31.3.2004 and additional 2 % from 1.1.2004 to 31.3.2004 as also the G.P.F. amount for the period March 1965 to October, 1978 together with admissible interest thereon has not yet been paid. In so far as the G.P.F. amount is concerned, the fact is also supported from a letter dated 25.3.2010 of the District Superintendent of Education, Patna addressed to 2 the District Superintendent of Education, Jehanabad mentioning therein that the deduction statement for the period of service rendered by the petitioner under him i.e. under the District Superintendent of Education, Jehanabad had not been received by him and thus the payments could not be made. It is in these circumstances that the District Superintendent of Education, Jehanabad had been added as respondent No.7 to the present proceeding. Today when the matter is taken up Mr. Jha, learned counsel representing the State submits that he has not yet received any instructions on the aforesaid issues either from the respondent No.4, the District Superintendent of Education, Patna or the newly added respondent No.7, the District Superintendent of Education, Jehanabad(Bihar). He thus submits that the writ petition could be disposed of with a direction to the aforesaid authority to ensure the payment, if found admissible and not yet been paid to the petitioner. Having regard to the submissions aforesaid, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the respondent No.7, the 3 District Superintendent of Education, Jehanabad to forward the deduction statement towards the G.P.F. amount of the petitioner for the period March 1965 to October, 1978 while the petitioner was posted under him at Jehanabad along with calculation of interest to the District Superintendent of Education, Patna for onward payment to the petitioner. The District Superintendent of Education, Patna shall also examine the claim of the petitioner with regard to the dearness allowance as set out herein above in this order and if the said amount is found admissible to the petitioner and has yet not been paid then he shall take steps for its payment expeditiously. The entire exercise of payment of the balance amount of the G.P.F. amount together with upto date statutory interest as also the dearness allowance should be completed within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ petition is disposed of. Bibhash ( Jyoti Saran, J.)
