IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5894 of 2009 SANTOSH KUMAR PANDEY Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2/ 12/05/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. On the issue of the date of his regularization, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he has filed a representation before the University on 3.12.2008. The claim is that the petitioner is entitled to regularization with effect from 7.7.1981, erroneously granted from 1.9.1989. Learned counsel for the University fairly submits that if the petitioner has filed a representation in respect of the same, the representation shall be considered and disposed in accordance with law. The next grievance is with regard to certain arrears of salary from May, 2008 inclusive of current salary. Learned counsel for the University submits that there may be issues of facts involved insofar as that issue is concerned. If a person is in employment and is working, he cannot be denied salary except in accordance with law under the service rules. 2 If the petitioner files a representation with regard to his claim for salary along with a copy of the present order, this Court directs the respondents to examine the same also and if the salary is to be denied or any part thereof of the same is to be denied, let a reasoned and speaking order to that effect be passed after due opportunity to the petitioner inclusive of the grounds. Let the present order on both aspects be complied with within a maximum period of four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. KC (Navin Sinha, J.)
