IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10136 of 2009 VINAY KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3 29.10.2009 Heard the counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing for the state. A modification application has been filed by the petitioner with a prayer that a direction be issued to make payment of salary of the petitioner for the period 20.06.1995 to 02.04.1998. The modification is prayed with regard to the date. Petitioner’s prayer is that in place of 18.02.1997, it may be mentioned as 02.04.1998. On perusal of the writ application and the statement made therein, I do not find that any statement has been made with regard to 02.04.1998. Prayer of the petitioner for making payment of salary in the main writ application was only related to his period of custody which started from 20.06.1995 to 18.12.1997. For the other date i.e. 02.04.1998 for which the petitioner is now seeking modification, a separate cause of action has arisen to the petitioner and in case the petitioner prays for any direction to make payment of salary for this period, he will have to file separate writ application making the prayer giving reasons for asking to make payment of salary of this period as well. The modification which has been sought for, by the 2 petitioner cannot be allowed in the given circumstances. It is rejected. AKV/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
