IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
CWJC No.11067 of 2006
PRAMOD KUMAR SINGH
Versus
THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS
-----------
02. 25.02.2011 Prayer of the petitioner in this Writ
Application is for a direction to the Respondents to
make payment of arrears of salary for the period
May, 1998 to July, 1998; October, 1998 to
December, 1998; January, 1999 to December,
1999; April, 2000 to December, 2000; January,
2001 to December, 2003; and January, 2005 to
May, 2006. The payment of salary has been stopped
without any rhyme and reason, as the petitioner had
not been awarded any punishment in any
Departmental Proceeding for non-payment of salary.
A very unsatisfactory Counter Affidavit has
been filed, in which simply it has been stated that
for non-attending the office regularly, a show-cause
was issued to the petitioner. There is nothing to
show that for such charge any Departmental
Proceeding was initiated and the charges were
proved. This is completely an arbitrary exercise of
powers on behalf of the Respondents.
Let this matter be listed again on 11th of
March, 2011, retaining its position.
2
Supplementary Counter Affidavit must be
filed on behalf of the Respondents, showing that
entire arrears of salary, for payment of which this
Writ Application has been filed by the petitioner, has
been paid to him. In support of the statement,
relevant documents must be annexed with the
Supplementary Counter Affidavit.
