Short facts are that the services of the petitioner were initially utilised by what is known as SARK System India Ltd., on the basis on an agreement entered between the State and the said company. Petitioner was assigned to work as Date Entry Operator and attached with D.R.D.A, Nalanda. Subsequently due to lack of satisfactory service and other disputes the contract was annulled in the year 2009 but in the interest of continuity of the work the Date Entry Operators initially provided by SARK were retained by the respondents on payment of Rs. 4500/- per month. Petitioner’s claim is that he was the one of the persons who had worked and no payment has been made. Attention of the Court has been drawn to some other order which has been passed by the High Court in similar circumstance as well as the order which has been passed by D.D.C. Nalanda releasing payment in favour of certain persons in terms of the office order no.4081 dated 16.12.2010. - 2 - Since the case of the petitioner is on similar footing then there is no reason as to why he would not be paid his rightful dues for the period he has rendered service to the respondents. This writ application is allowed with a direction upon D.D.C., Nalanda, i.e. respondent no.4 that the claim of the petitioner would also be calculated and the outstanding dues be also paid to him within eight weeks from the date of communication/production of a copy of this order.
