SRI SATYA NARAYAN RAI S/O NOT KNOWN PANCHAYAT SEVAK, MALAUR GRAM PANCHAYAT, BLOCK CHARPOKHARI, DISTT-BHOJPUR,ARRAH ----------- 2/ 21.05.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing for the State. Petitioner is the husband of late Premsheela Kumari, who was Panchayat Teacher at Rajkiya Prathmik Vidayalaya, Bharodih, P.O.-Koil, Anchal-Charpokhari, District-Bhojpur, Arrah. She died in harness on 8.6.2007 due to cardiac respiratory arrest. Petitioner’s case is that after the death of his wife, he represented before respondent authorities for making payment of salary of his deceased wife, for the period from 9.3.2007 to 26.5.2007, but till date, it has not been paid. Petitioner has annexed the certificate, issued by the Headmaster of concerned school, in support of this fact that the period, for which salary is being demanded, the deceased wife of petitioner had worked - 2 - on the post of Panchayat Teacher. It seems that the matter is being lingered by the respondent authorities, throwing responsibility on each other. Accordingly, this application is being disposed of giving direction to the District Superintendent of Education, Bhojpur, the Headmaster of Rajkiya Parthmik Vidyalaya, Bharodih, and Panchayat Secretary of Malaur Gram Panchayat for making payment of arrears of salary to the petitioner, who was her husband. The salary is due for the period 9.3.2007 to 26.05.2007 and it must be paid within four weeks from the date of production/communication of the order. Sanjeet/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
