The Director-in-Chief, Health Services, Bihar, Patna 3. The Civil Surgeon cum Chief Medical Officer, Sasaram 4. The Incharge Medical Officer, Primary Health Centre, Sheosagar, Rohtas … Respondents ----------- 3. 6.8.2010 Heard counsel for the parties. A dispute to the extent of admissibility and payment of traveling allowance (T.A.bill) for the period January, 2000 to March, 2004 cannot be gone into by this Court, especially when the petitioners claim to have performed their duty while traveling and thus, entitled for such T.A. bill whereas the respondents have denied such traveling of the petitioners and to have performed their duty. In that view of the matter, this Court can only give liberty to each of the petitioners to file their separate 2 Surendra/ individual representation to the Director- in-Chief of the Health Services who then will verify with regard to the aforesaid limited claim of the petitioners of their respective T.A.Bills. In that view of the matter, if the petitioners would file their individual separate representation enclosing the documents and other proof of their traveling on official duty, the Director-in-Chief after getting the records verified from the concerned place where the petitioners were working, would decide admissibility of such T.A. bills. Such exercise however must be completed within a period of six months of the filing of the representation by the petitioners along with a copy of this order. It goes without saying that if the petitioners are found entitled for payment of their T.A. bills as claimed in this writ application or part thereof, the same must be also paid to them within three months of such order of the Director-in-Chief. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) 3
