THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE SAMASTIPUR ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Neeraj Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sunil Kumar Mandal, SC 15 Mr. Bipin Kumar, Advocate ----- 2. 09.09.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. A counter affidavit has been filed by the Superintendent of Police, East Champaran at Motihari. It is not available on the record. Counsel for the State is not in a position to inform the date of filing. This Court requested the Counsel to place his copy of the counter affidavit for consideration so as not to hold up the proceeding. The office will retain the zerox copy of the counter affidavit. The petitioner is widow of the deceased Inspector who was placed under suspension while he was in service by order dated 23.7.2005. He has been deceased on 9.7.2006. On account of his death the departmental proceedings have been held to be no more sustainable and orders have been passed on 2.1.2008 that not only is he entitled to his subsistence allowance but the period from suspension till death has to be treated as in service entitling him to full wages otherwise not available to a suspended employee. Notwithstanding the order of the DIG Purnea Range the widow has still been compelled to knock the doors of this Court additionally seeking relief of ACP along with certain arrears of salary, family pension and exgratia amount. The petitioner is stated to have represented more than once. The counter affidavit of the State is more in the nature of a blame game by the Superintendent of Police Motihari shifting the burden on to the Katihar authorities. Keeping in mind that the petitioner is a widow with limited resources this Court directs the Director General of Police, Bihar, to ensure that the settlement of dues of the deceased in terms of the order dated 2.1.2008 inclusive of claims for arrears of salary, family pension, exgratia amount are complied by issuance of necessary instruction and enforcement of the same within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt and/or presentation of a copy of this order in the office of Director General of Police, Bihar. The directions issued by the Director General of Police, to the concerned in pursuance of the present order shall have the force of the order of the Court with answerability to the Court. The writ application stands disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
