IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4306 of 2005 KHAIRU NISHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 2.2.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. On the own showing of the petitioner, there is a representation pending before the Collector of Rohtas district as contained in Anenxure-2 to this writ application. As a matter of fact, the Collector ought to have taken a decision on such pending representation of the petitioner which only requires him to apply to the scheme of pension under Freedom Fighter Pension Scheme for payment of certain allowances with effect from 1.1.1984. Counsel for the petitioner in this respect has also submitted that there should be no impediment for the Collector in making payment as the necessary fund in this regard has also been released by the Government. This Court, without going into the merits of such submission, in the first instance, would direct the Collector of the Rohtas district to consider the representation of the petitioner and take a decision on her grievance within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. In order to expedite the matter, this Court would give the petitioner a liberty to file fresh representation within a 2 period of one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order and in the event such a representation is filed, the same must be disposed of by a speaking order within two months thereafter. It goes without saying that in the event, the grievance of the petitioner is found to be genuine and worth redressal, the necessary payment would also be made to the petitioner in next one month of such order of the Collector. With the aforementioned observations/directions, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
