Patna High Court CWJC No.13204 of 2019(3) dt.08-07-2019 2/3 The present writ application has been filed by the petitioners for a direction to the respondents to make payment of salary to them.
Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that the petitioners' certificate i.e. passing TET is the subject matter of verification since 2016 and on account of inconclusive verification, the respondents are not making the payment to the petitioners.
Considering the fact that the process of verification of certificate cannot be ever last matter, the Court directs the respondents to conclude the verification of the certificates of the petitioners within a period of four months and thereafter to ensure payment of salary (arrears and current). In the event, final verification is not completed within the time frame, the petitioners shall be entitled to salary (arrears and current) irrespective of non-completion of verification of certificate.
In the event, the petitioners are not paid salary within a further period of 60 days from the time frame of four months, petitioners would be entitled to interest on arrears of salary at the rate of 9% per annum, which shall be born out from the pocket of District Programme Officer (Establishment), Motihari, East Champaran.
Patna High Court CWJC No.13204 of 2019(3) dt.08-07-2019 3/3 With the aforesaid, this application stands disposed of. (Anil Kumar Upadhyay, J) uday/- U
