The Secretary, Department Of Finance, Bihar Patna ---------------------------------- 2. 16.09.2011 Petitioner was in service in Patna University, he was working as university professor in the Department of Sociology when the State Government scouting for talent decided to zero down on the petitioner. They appointed him as Director, Higher Education in H.R.D. of the State government vide notification dated 6.4.2010. The notification contained in Annexure-1 indicates that he will work in that capacity either till further orders or till he attains 62 years of age. The order also indicates that the rules of service and condition for deputation will be notified subsequently. It is seems that before it could be he came to be repatriated. The petitioner was repatriated only after a short time while working as such vide notification contained in Annexure-3 dated 11.06.2011. At present the petitioner is supposed to be pro-Vice Chancellor of Patna university but he has not been paid his salary and other allowances 2 between the periods i.e. 6.4.2010 to 11.06.2011 while he worked as a Director It is not in dispute that the petitioner was brought on deputation as well as repatriated unceremoniously. Work has been taken during the period in question. It is so then his entitlement as such cannot be in dispute. There is failure on the part of the respondents to respond to his request and, therefore, he was compelled to file the present writ application. Prima facie from the narration of events and the facts, there cannot be any dispute on the issue of grant of salary and emoluments to the petitioner for the period he has worked. A direction therefore is issued to the Principal Secretary, H.R.D. that taking cognizance of the request of the petitioner dated 06.04.2010, as on the petitioner filing an application afresh with a copy of this order, he shall decide the entitlement of the petitioner for payment for the period in question within a period of 8 weeks. The writ petition stands disposed of with the above observation. Ravi/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
