THE TREASURY OFFICER, VAISHALI AT HAJIPUR ………………………………………………………………………….RESPONDENTS ******** 7 09/03/2011 After the death of the petitioner’s husband in the year 1999, the present writ application has been filed by his widow, claiming retiral benefits after considering that her husband was entitled to the First Time Bound Promotion, and also the pay scale of Selection Grade. The petitioner’s husband died in the year 1999 and the claim for grant of First Time Bound Promotion etc. was not made during the life time of the petitioner’s husband, as such, I do not see how at this belated stage, the widow can claim that her husband would be entitled for the First Time Bound Promotion or for that matter, the pay scale of Selection Grade. However, the District Education Officer, Vaishali at Hajipur is directed to ensure that the widow of 2 Late Ram Ekbal Singh who was working as an Assistant Teacher at Government Ideal Middle School, Singhara, district Vaishali should be granted retiral benefits and family pension etc. The petitioner would be at liberty to file representation before the District Superintendent of Education, Vaishali at Hajipur within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and the District Superintendent of Education will ensure that a proper order for payment of retiral benefits and family pension are made in favour of the petitioner within a period of three months thereafter. The Accountant General, Bihar after receiving the requisition for payment of the retiral dues should issue a proper P.P.O. in favour of the petitioner within a period of one month from the date of receipt of the requisition. This writ application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions. Anand ( Sheema Ali Khan, J. )
