      to the tune of Rs. 5,76,492 as well as leave encashment to the

      tune of Rs. 1,98,516/- and group insurance for Rs. 1,42,341

      have already been sanctioned and paid.

                       3. Learned Advocate for the petitioner fairly

      submitted that the pension and gratuity amount has already been
             Patna High Court CWJC No.11746 of 2023 dt.30-06-2026
                                                        2/2




                      paid, however, so far the GPF is concerned, till date the

                      petitioner has been deprived from the payment of GPF with

                      respect to certain periods.

                                      4. Learned Advocate for the State fairly submits

                      that If the petitioner is in a position to show that some amount

                      of GPF has not been paid, he may approach before the District

                      Provident Fund Officer.

                                      5. Having considered the fair submission of the

                      rival parties and taking note of the fact that substantive amount

                      under the retiral benefits have been paid to the petitioner, this

                      Court deems it apt and proper to close the writ petition.

                      However, the petitioner shall be at liberty to approach before the

                                      6. With the aforesaid liberty, the present writ

                      petition stands disposed.
