The State Of Bihar 2. The Secretary, Rural Development Department, Government of Bihar, Patna 3. The Director, Panchayati Raj, Rural Development Department, Government of Bihar, Patna 4. The District Magistrate, Darbhanga 5. The District Development Commissioner-cum-Chief Executive Officer, Zila Parishad, Darbhanga 6. The D.D.O.-cum Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Darbhanga ………….Respondents ----------- For the Petitioner : Lalit Nr. Jha, Adv. For the Respondent nos. 5 & 6 : Md. Sarwar Ali, Adv. ----------- 8. 06.09.2011 Heard the parties. This writ petition has been filed with a prayer for payment of arrears of retiral benefits to the extent still remaining unpaid as claimed by the petitioner on the basis of the 5th pay revision as required by the respondents. The petitioner is said to have filed the detailed calculations of his claim, the latest being the calculation made on 31.08.2008 as contained in Annexure-A series to the petitioner’s rejoinder. Learned counsel for the Zila Parishad (Respondent nos- 5 & 6) points out from the counter affidavit that the entire dues of the petitioner have been cleared on the basis of the 4th pay revision. It therefore appears that the moot point of difference between the parties lies with regard to the petitioner’s enhanced entitlement on the basis of the 5th pay revision. In this view of the matter and considering that the petitioner has been agitating his claims for over 18 years now having been superannuated as far back as in 1992, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent no.5 to consider the claim of the petitioner in terms of his aforesaid latest representation and calculation dated 31.08.2008 and dispose of the same by a speaking order, and in particular, to decide whether the petitioner is entitled to the benefit of 5th pay revision. This exercise should be done positively within a period of two months hereof and if the petitioner is so found entitled, then to take further steps to ensure that payment is made to the petitioner of all amounts found due to him within a further period of two months thereof. Learned counsel for the State as well as for the Accountant General are both present and have been heard. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with the aforesaid observations and directions.
