Mr. Ekramul Bari Mr. Sk. Imtiaj Uddin …..for the petitioner Mr. Himadri Barua Mr. Biswajit Das ….for the Headmistress Ms. Priya Ghosal ….for the State Affidavit of service filed on behalf of the petitioner is taken on record.

Petitioner has prayed for expeditious release of retiral dues since she retired on superannuation on 31^st October, 2022. It appears that on settling the pension case of the petitioner, Pension Payment Order was issued on 23^rd February, 2023 but till date retiral dues including pension have not been released in favour of the petitioner due to failure on the part of the Headmistress of Kankinara Urdu Girls’ High School (HS), North 24 Parganas to issue ‘No Liability Certificate’.
