IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12889 of 2011 Maithili Sharan Choudhary, son of Ram Dawan Choudhary, resident of Village – Majhauli, Police Station – Bidupur, District - Vaishali Versus 1. The State off Bihar through the Principal Secretary, Human Resources Development Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. 2. The Principal Secretary, Human Resources Development Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. 3. The Director, Primary Education, Government of Bihar, Patna. 4. The District Education Officer, Vaishali. 5. The District Superintendent of Education, Katihar. ----------- 02. 23.8.2011 Petitioner was working as an Assistant Teacher in Government Basic School, Jaffarpatti, in the district of Vaishali. Vide Memo No. 785 dated 17.3.2010, the District Education Officer, Vaishali relieved the petitioner to join the post of Block Education Extension Officer at Kadwa in the district of Katihar. This was based on the notification issued in terms of Annexure- 2 under the signature of the Director, Primary Education, Government of Bihar. Petitioner has been working under the District Superintendent of Education, Katihar since 22.3.2010 but due to non-issuance of Last Pay Certificate (LPC) by the authority concerned in Vaishali he has gone without salary for a year and half now. Looking at the nature of the prayer made in the writ application, this writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the District Education Officer, Vaishali that on production of a copy of this order he shall take immediate steps for issuance of LPC of the petitioner and forward the same to the 2 District Education Officer, Katihar forthwith unless there is some legal impediment in the way. If there is one the concerned authority will give a speaking order as to the reason for non- issuance of LPC so far. The direction issued by the Court must be complied within the time frame or else the Court will view the matter seriously if the occasion arises. Writ stands disposed of with the above direction. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
