08-01-2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned A.C. to Govt. Advocate - 6 as well as learned counsel, who appears on behalf of Accountant General, Bihar.
The petitioner, who retired as Panchayat Secretary, Dadspur Panchayat under Lahladpur Block at Saran (Chapra), has approached this Court by invoking its writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, with a prayer to direct the respondents to make payment of full pension and other retiral dues.
In this case, a counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondent no. 3, wherein, a statement has been made that two months time is required for redressal of grievances of the
Patna High Court CWJC No.2239 of 2014 (5) dt.08-01-2015 2/2 petitioner. A plea has also been taken that the petitioner had taken Rs. 3,25,000/- (three lacs and twenty five thousand), as advance, for a project while he was posted at Shitalpur Panchayat. Be that as it may, since the petitioner retired in the month of January, 2013 and stand has been taken by the State that two months time is required to redress the grievances of the petitioner, there is no need to keep the matter pending. The writ petition stands disposed of with a direction to the respondents, particularly; respondent no. 2 & 3 to take all steps for settling all the retiral dues of the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It goes without saying that the petitioner will be entitled to get all the retiral dues with statutory admissible interest. (Rakesh Kumar, J.) Anay/- U
