IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1904 of 2009 MOST.RATNA MISHRA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 9/2/2009 Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner, wife of an employee of the Corporation, claims for payment of all retirement benefits on the ground that her husband was an employee of the Corporation who was put under suspension on 23.9.1993 but after his death on 20.10.2004 admissible payment of retirement benefits has not been made. Counsel appearing on behalf of the Corporation, however, would submit that there is nothing to show in the writ application as to what had happened to the husband of the petitioner after he was put under suspension. It has further been submitted that entitlement of the petitioner will have to be first examined and thereafter only the admitted claim if any will become payable. This Court accordingly would direct both the respondent corporation as also the authority of provident fund to examine claim of the petitioner and take a final 2 decision within a period of three months from the date of filing of representation to this effect by the petitioner laying her claim along with a copy of this order. It goes without saying that if the petitioner is found entitled for any benefit, payment thereof be also made within the next one month of such order being passed either by the authorities of the corporation and/or provident fund. This would dispose of this application. (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.) Abhay Kumar
