IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12050 of 2006 RAM LAKHAN SINGH s/o late lalit singh R/O VILLAGE URISHA P.O. +P.S. HAUSA, DISTT- NAWADA----- PETITIONER Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE SECRETARY PRIMARY EDUCATION, GOVT. OF BIHAR 3. THE DIRECTOR, PRIMARY EDUCATION, GOVT. OF BIHA 4. THE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION,NAWADA 5. THE DISTRICT PROVIDENT FUND OFFICER, NAWADA--RESPONDENTS ----------- 2 16.1.2009 Heard learned counsel for the parties. After filing of the counter affidavit by the respondent State the petitioner now raises two grievances. The first grievance is that his difference of pay between 1.1.1971 to 31.3.1973 which was deposited in the G.P.F Account of the State Government has been paid with a uniform rate of interest of 6% which the petitioner should have been paid at the rate of statutory interest and not 6%. The Court has gone through the order dated 7.2.2003 passed in LPA No. 794 of 1992 which was a matter initially raised by Prathamik Shikshak Sangh where the Division Bench held that interest by way of 6% has to be paid for difference of salary for the period 1.1.1971 to 31.3.1973. In view of the above no dispute can be raised on the payment of interest of difference of salary. The second submission of learned counsel for the petitioner as that as per the certificate issued by the District Superintendent of Education which is contained in annexure-2 to the writ application the closing balance for the year 1985-86 so far his G.P.F. amount is concerned Rs. 18,514/- but in the calculation - 2 - chart which has been brought on record along with annexure-D in the counter affidavit filed on behalf of the respondent-5 the opening balance has been shown for the year 1986-87 as Rs. 13,087/-. This according to the petitioner is an obvious error and the petitioner has been denied payment of at least Rs. 5000/- and odd in the G.P.F. amount. This writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the District Provident Fund Officer, Nawada that he shall examine the details furnished by District Superintendent of Education, Nawada contained in annexure-2 to the writ application along with the calculation chart which has been furnished by him as annexure-D and if this amount has not been reconciled which seems to be so on a basic perusal of the same then this amount be made available to the petitioner within a period of three months from the date of communication or production of a copy of this order. It is further clarified that this amount is even to be payable with interest and this amount will also be furnished in the same period This writ application stand allowed with the above direction.
