It is his case that he has superannuated from the office of District Provident Fund Officer, Chaibasa, West Singhbhum as a Clerk. It is his grievance that he has not been paid the benefit of time bound promotion or ACP or MACP. It is admitted that the petitioner superannuated on 31.01.2015. Whether the petitioner is entitled to get the benefit as claimed by him needs to be first decided by the respondent. 4. Thus, I remit back the matter to the District Provident Fund Officer, Chaibasa who will decide the claim of the petitioner including his entitlement. If it is found that the petitioner is entitled for the benefit which he is claiming the same should be extended along with the consequential benefits. If the claim of the petitioner is rejected reasons thereof should be communicated to the petitioner. 5. Petitioner should file representation along with all the documents which he is relying upon within four weeks from today. Respondents will take a decision within 12 weeks and will ensure the consequential benefit be paid if the petitioner is entitled to, within the aforesaid period. 6. This writ petition is disposed of.
