Detailed headnote1 paragraphs

Patna High Court (Dr. Anshuman, J.) disposed of CWJC No. 13701 of 2025 (Amit Kumar v. State of Bihar & ors.), where a resigned employee of Bihar Gramin Bank (earlier Dakshin Bihar Gramin Bank) sought by way of mandamus the payment of unpaid Officiating allowances, T.A. bills, Gratuity and Encashment Benefits of Privilege Leaves and other associated dues, his repeated e-mail representations having elicited no decision from Respondent No. 4. Instead of adjudicating entitlement itself, the Court directed the petitioner to file a fresh representation through e-mail and speed-post, with a copy of the order, to the General Manager within 30 days; the General Manager was directed to decide it by a reasoned and speaking order within 90 days thereafter, to pay the admitted dues within that period, and to fully describe the entitlement or non-entitlement of payment in accordance with law. No statute or precedent was cited; no monetary quantum was assessed by the Court.
