The grievance of the petitioner is that upon the death of his father in harness on 19th of January, 2009 while posted as IVth Grade employee in the Veterinary College, Patna, the death-cum- retiral dues have not been fully settled as yet. It is submitted that the petitioner is the son from the first wife of the deceased employee and respondent no.5 is the second wife of the deceased employee. After the death of the father of the petitioner, respondent no.5 is being paid the provisional pension. However, other retiral dues have remained to be settled as yet. Learned counsel for the respondent-University submits that in view of the objection raised by respondent no.5, the balance retiral dues could not be settled as yet. 2 In the above circumstances, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that for expeditious disposal of the pending claims, the petitioner proposes to file a joint representation along with respondent no.5 before the concerned authority so that the matter with regard to the payment of the balance retiral dues could be settled without delay. In view of the above, in case such a representation is filed stating the details of the unpaid claims as also enclosing the copy of the relevant documents, if any, in support of such claims along with the certified copy of the present order before the Vice- Chancellor, Rajendra Agriculture University (respondent no.3) within a period of six weeks, respondent no.3 shall consider the grievances of the petitioner as raised in his representation and dispose it of in accordance with law expeditiously, preferably within a period of four months on receipt of such representation, so that the grievances raised in the representation could be settled without further delay and the admissible dues could also be paid. It is expected that respondent no.5 shall co-operate in the matter. The writ application stands disposed of with the above observations/directions. PNM (Shailesh Kumar Sinha, J.)
