Mr. KAMESHWAR KUMAR -GP17 Mr. S.K.Ranjan, AC to GP 17 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR UPADHYAY ORAL ORDER 16-02-2018 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State.
Learned counsel for the petitioners is permitted to make
Patna High Court CWJC No.1356 of 2018(2) dt.16-02-2018 2/3 necessary correction in para-1 of the writ petition during the course of the day.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners were paid regular salary till February, 2017 and thereafter the salary of the petitioners was stopped without any rhyme or reason. He submits that the petitioners have approached the District Programme Officer, Establishment, Nawadah by way of filing representation as contained in Annexure-4 which is pending consideration before the respondent-District Programme Officer, Establishment, Nawadah.
Since the respondents have not assigned any reason for stoppage of salary and the representation of the petitioners has not been disposed of as yet, it would be appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondent-District Programme Officer, Establishment, Nawadah to examine the claim of the petitioners and if on scrutiny of the relevant record he finds that the appointment of the petitioners is legal and valid and they are regularly working, pass appropriate order for payment of salary. If the respondent No. 4 does not find any merit in the claim of the petitioners for payment of salary, he shall pass reasoned and speaking order within a maximum
Patna High Court CWJC No.1356 of 2018(2) dt.16-02-2018 3/3 period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
With the aforesaid, the writ petition stands disposed of. (Anil Kumar Upadhyay, J) spandey/- U
