IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13166 of 2009 SATYENDRA KUMAR GUPTA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2/ 12/10/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The limited relief sought in this writ application is for payment of arrears of salary and current salary. Learned counsel for the petitioner invites the attention of the Court to a letter dated 18.7.2009 written to the Director, Industries that the petitioner has been posted against a non-vacant post seeking directions with regard to payment of salary. It is the respondents who make the postings. If they commit an error, the petitioner cannot be visited with the consequences. If the petitioner has made available himself for work and the respondents have been unable to take work for him because of their lapses in posting him on a non-vacant post, the petitioner is clearly entitled to his arrears and current salary. This writ application is disposed with a direction to the respondents to examine the claim of the petitioner in light of the aforesaid discussion and pay 2 his arrears of salary as also start payment of current salary within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order before the concerned respondent.
