¶24

since 31-05-2019. The petitioner was retired from the post of Panchayat Secretary posted in Dighwara Block, Saran and further prays to this Hon'ble Court to pay the Rs. 12% interest and costs.”

¶25

At this stage, learned counsel for the State by referring to paragraph-6 submits that the entire grievances have been redressed save and except benefits under the A.C.P. and as also with respect to G.P.F., if any, for which appropriate representation may be directed to be filed by the petitioner, which shall be adjudicated in terms of the applicable law.

¶26

On the other hand, learned counsel for the petitioner does not confront the stand taken by the learned counsel for the State and undertakes to file representation with supportive materials for grant of A.C.P. and as also with respect to G.P.F., if any, before the District Provident Fund Officer, Saran (respondent no. 5).

¶27

Considering the submissions of the parties, this Court is of the view that since substantial adjudication of the grievances of the petitioner has already been done and only benefits under A.C.P. and some amount under G.P.F. is pending, for which the petitioner proposes to file appropriate representation with all supportive materials.

¶28

Accordingly, this Court directs the petitioner to
