IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5654 of 2009 DEVENDRA NATH SHARMA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 04.05.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The relief claimed in the writ application is for salary dues for the period March, 2006 to 18.5.2007 prior to the order of termination dated 24.4.2007. There is apparent contradiction in the pleadings that if he was terminated on 24.4.2007, the question of claiming salary till 18.5.2007 does not arise. If the petitioner has served for certain period and actually discharged duties, he is naturally entitled for his salary for the said period irrespective of the issue of subsequent termination. The writ application is disposed with direction to Respondent no. 4 to examine the grievance of the petitioner on his claim for arrears of salary and pass appropriate and reasoned order thereupon within a maximum period of eight weeks from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order.
