Respondents For the Petitioner : Mr. Tuhin Shankar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Gyan Prakash Ojha, Advoate. For the Accountant General : Mr. Arun Kumar Arun, Advocate. ----------- 2 13.10.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, State as well as the counsel for the Accountant General. At the outset, the Court has certain reservation in entertaining the writ application of the petitioner with regard to payment of salary for the period 01.02.1994 to 31.07.1994 despite the observation made in MJC No. 1402 of 2002 dated 18.05.2011, in the back ground that the petitioner had earlier approached the High Court for payment of retiral dues as well as the salary for the period of six months but the Court vide order dated 20.06.2001 contained in Annexure-3 granted limited relief to the petitioner. In other words no direction or relief for the salary was granted. Claim of the petitioner with regard to retiral dues etc. had already been settled. The other claims including salary for the period above were rejected as far as 05.03.2002. If that was the order which was passed by the learned 2 Single Judge earlier contained in Annexure-3 then petitioner is precluded from raising any further claims as all claims would be deemed to have merged in the earlier order passed by the learned Single Judge, may be limited to the extent in nature. The selective piece of challenge now being made at such a belated stage is uncalled for as well as barred by principal of res judicata. Writ is dismissed. Md. Ibrarul (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
