IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.166 of 2007 AKHILESH PRASAD YADAV & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 28.08.2008 Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioners and the learned Counsel for the opposite parties. The direction on the writ petition was to the respondents to make appointment on the post of Jeep Driver in consonance with law, when the petitioners shall also be considered. It was further directed that till then the petitioners shall be paid the minimum time scale permissible in law of Jeep Drivers. Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that they are being paid daily wages at the present rate and not minimum time scale of pay of the post of Jeep Driver in the Collectorate. From Annexure ‘C’ to the show cause filed on behalf of the opposite parties it prima facie appears correct. From the order on the writ petition it is clear that the petitioners are required to be paid the minimum time scale of pay payable to regularly appointed Jeep Drivers on vacant sanctioned post in the Collectorate. What minimum wages the Labour Department may have fixed is not relevant. Should the opposite parties persist in payment of daily wages only they shall clearly be exposing themselves to the risk of contempt.. This Court therefore considers it proper to given them one more opportunity to comply the order of this Court dated 27.6.2005 within a maximum period of six weeks from today by paying all arrears and current wages in the manner directed till such time that the posts are filled by regular selection. The MJC application stands disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
