For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Binod Kumar Singh, Advocate For the Respondent/s : Mr. Lalit Kishore (Paag) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR TRIPATHI ORAL ORDER 13-07-2017 There are controversial circumstances which emerge from reading of Annexure-1, which shows lack of bonafide of the claim of the present petitioner, which compelled the respondents to reject any such claim for settlement of the so-called retiral dues of the erstwhile employee who retired in the year 1993 and died in the year 2007. This Court also finds it strange that a retired Government servant that too in the Commercial Taxes Department could not make claim against the State for 14 years if

Patna High Court CWJC No.7420 of 2015 (7) dt.13-07-2017 2/2 there was any legitimate retiral dues which he was entitled to. However, despite the above, if the petitioner still wants to wager, she is free to find ways and means in accordance with law. Writ Court will not come to her rescue. Writ is dismissed with observation as above.
