Office is directed to allot regular number to this review application. (Order on memo of Review Application) Sri V. P. Nag, learned counsel appearing for the review applicants-U.P. Beej Vikas Nigam has submitted that all service benefits on attaining the age of superannuation have been granted and released in favour of the respondent-employee except withholding a sum of Rs.27,000/- advanced to him towards festival allowance and Rs.213/- towards group insurance. Notice was issued to the respondent-employee and the same has been served upon him. Respondent is represented through Shri Divaker Singh and Shri Sengar Anand Kumar Singh, Advocates. When the case has been called out today, none has put in appearance on behalf of the respondent. Having regard to the submission that except a sum of Rs.27,213/- (festival advance - Rs.27,000/- and Rs.213/- for group insurance) all other service dues have been released. Reason for withholding the amount is that it is refundable by the employee to the employer and accordingly, the same has been recovered from the dues payable to the respondent employee. No other dispute survives between the parties. In view of the above, the review application is allowed with the direction that no other service benefits, except the aforesaid amount, if is withheld by the employer, may be released in his favour, if not already paid. The judgment and order sought to be viewed is modified to the aforesaid extent. . (Om Prakash Shukla, J.) (Attau Rahman Masoodi, J.)
