RESPONDENTS --------- 2 14-10-2011 Heard counsel for the parties. In this writ application, the prayer of the petitioner is for payment of salary for three months i.e. Jan-2001, Feb-2001 and Feb-2002 as also for difference of amount of salary for the period from 01.04.1997 to 31.03.1999. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the total dues for the aforementioned payment was found to be Rs. 1,12,398/- but the Drawing and Disbursing Officer of the petitioner could make payment of Rs. 54,932/- only and the petitioner is still has to receive payment of Rs. 57,466/-. There is no counter affidavit in this case on the basis of which the claim of the Patna High Court CWJC No.9666 of 2007 (2) dt.14-10-2011 petitioner could be verified. This writ application came to be filed on 02.08.2007 and the respondents till date have not filed their counter affidavit but the petitioner himself has very fairly brought on record the subsequent developments by filing a supplementary affidavit giving the details during the pendency of this writ application. That being so, this Court would direct the District Education Officer, Jehanabad to examine the claim of the petitioner and ensure that the balance amount of Rs.57,466/-, if admissible, must be paid to the petitioner within a period of one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. RANJAN (Mihir Kumar Jha, J)
