The Executive Officer, Nagar Parishad, Chapra ……………. Respondents. ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. Nawal Kishore Singh, Advocate For the State: Mr. Shashi Priya Pathak, Advocate, AC to AAG 7. ----------- 2. 4.3.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. The grievance of the petitioners is that the salary as well as difference of pay is not being paid to them although they are discharging their duties as regular Class IV employees in the Nagar Parishad, Chapra and the same is due for different periods with 2 respect to different petitioners from March, 2009 onwards. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that the authorities rise from their deep slumber in the matter of payment of salary only after the employees approach the Court and get an order in the matter. If that is so then the same is a very serious matter which ought to be looked into by the higher authorities of the Nagar Parishad, Chapra. Employees of any governmental organization must be paid salary in a regular manner and in such matters it is not expected that they should be forced to approach the High Court. In the above circumstances, the writ application is disposed of with a direction to the authorities of the Nagar Parishad, Chapra to consider the claims of the petitioner and pay to them their admitted salaries along with arrears within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
