Heard learned counsel representing the petitioner and learned counsel representing the respondents. 3. The petitioner was a Workman. 4. Admittedly, the petitioner is entitled to receive an amount of Rs.5,90,645/-. The petitioner is occupying the official residence. The respondents had earlier charged penal rent for his stay. There is also an order of eviction against the petitioner. He has also lost in Appeal. 5. As per the respondents, the penal rent which the petitioner is liable to pay is huge i.e. roughly about 18,43,000/-, but on query, the respondents’ counsel on instruction from his client submits that normal rent would be Rs.3,234/- and electricity charges would be Rs.88,523.71/-, totalling to Rs.91,757.71/-. 6. Considering the submission of the parties and also the fact that the petitioner was a mere Workman and he had not been paid his dues, which forced him to occupy the quarter, I direct the respondents to charge normal rent and the electricity charges, which comes to Rs.91,757.71/-. 7. Learned counsel representing the petitioner on instruction submits that his client is aggregable to pay the aforesaid amount and 2026:JHHC:15104 3 / or he has no objection if the aforesaid amount is adjusted from the dues which the petitioner is entitled to get. He submits that the petitioner will immediately vacate the quarter once the aforesaid amount is paid to the petitioner. 8. The petitioner also undertakes that he will withdraw the MJC Case No.01 of 2019, pending before learned Labour Court, Jamshedpur, within one week, from the date of receipt of the document. 9. Thus, I direct the respondents to pay the amount of Rs.4,98,887.29/- to the petitioner on Monday i.e. 18.05.2026. The demand draft will be handed over to the petitioner on Monday, by the representative of the respondent, in the premises where the petitioner is staying. The petitioner on that date itself will hand over vacant possession of the quarter in question, as the petitioner submitted so. Taking over and handing over the vacant premises with the keys, and the demand draft, would be simultaneous. 10. Liberty is given to the petitioner that if he has any dispute about the calculation of the principal amount of his retiral dues, he may approach the respondent Authorities by filing a representation, which will be considered. 11. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ petition stands disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.) 15th May, 2026 Prashant. Cp-2 Uploaded on 16.05.2026
