IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3773 of 2009 Bindhyachal Devi Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 2. 15.07.2011 Heard learned Counsel for the parties. The now deceased husband of the petitioner is stated to have been suspended and subjected to a departmental proceeding which remained inconclusive till his death. Subsequently he has been exonerated and the period of suspension has been regularized. The claim now is of salary for the period of suspension. The counter affidavit of the respondents filed today affirmed by one Shri Sushil Kumar, Deputy Director of Agriculture (Research) states at paragraph 9 that he has issued orders for payment of arrears of salary of the deceased from 3.7.1985 to 26.9.1987 in the following terms:- “9. That having considered the claim of petitioner the Director Agriculture, Bihar Patna vide letter No. 27/09 dated 10.8.09 has directed the B.D.O., Bikramganj (Rohtas) and Danapur to ensure payment of arrears under rule 97/98 of Bihar Service Coded for the period 3.7.85 to 26.9.87 and inform to the Director immediately.” The Court treats the statement on oath in a judicial proceeding as a solemn assurance and undertaking given by the Deputy Director of Agriculture (Research) to an particular Course of conduct assuring the Court that he has issued directions for grant of the relief and there is no need for the Court to adjudicate. If the assurance and undertaking given to this Court is not complied with in its entirety and actual physical payment is not made to the petitioner within a maximum period of six weeks from the date of receipt and/or presentation of a copy of this order before him, serious issues of breach of an undertaking and assurance by the Deputy Director to this Court may arise for consideration. The writ application stands disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
