Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the respondents.

The petitioner submits that after the sanction, pension was accorded under Letter No 19. However, the authorization

Patna High Court CWJC No.15102 of 2019(4) dt.15-06-2020 2/2 for payment has not been issued by the Office of the Accountant General.

The learned counsel representing the Accountant General submits that he has specific instructions that the Pension Payment Order (for brevity, PPO) has been issued authorizing payment of retiral dues to the petitioner on 07.01.2020 and sent to the concerned Treasury, along with a copy to the petitioner. Learned counsel for the Accountant General undertakes that he would be transmitting a soft copy of the PPO to the learned counsel for the petitioner by tomorrow (16.06.2020).

As the grievance of the petitioner stands redressed, pendency of the instant proceedings will serve no useful purpose.

If the petitioner is aggrieved by the calculation or the amounts sanctioned then it would be open to him to pursue his claims whatsoever, that may remain after the said exercise. Writ petition stands disposed of.
