BRAHMPUR, DISTRICT BUXAR AT PRESENT POSTED AS CLERK-CUM-TYPIST IN THE GOVERNMENT SRI DHANBANTARI AYURVEDIC COLLEGE, AHRAULI, BUXAR…………………………………………………..…….PETITIONERS VERSUS 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. TREASURY OFFICER, GOVERNMENT TREASURY, BUXAR 3. RAJESH KUMAR PATHAK, EXECUTIVE MAGISTRATE AT PRESENT WORKING AS TREASURY OFFICER, BUXAR 4. PRINCIPAL, GOVERNMENT SRI DHANBANTARI AYURVEDIC COLLEGE, AHRAULI, BUXAR………………………………………………………………….RESPONDENTS ----------- 9. 16.12.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. It appears that on the objection raised by the Treasury Officer, salary of the petitioners was stopped with effect from August, 1999. Therefore, petitioners filed this writ application for quashing of the said order of the Treasury Officer dated 30.09.1999 and for direction to the respondents to resume payment of their salary. It appears that thereafter services of the petitioners were terminated. Against the - 2 - said order, petitioners moved this Court challenging the said termination orders separately through C.W.J.C. No.12778 of 2001 and C.W.J.C. No. 12500 of 2001, respectively. The said writ applications were allowed by judgment dated 08.09.2003. The State of Bihar moved in appeal against the said order passed in the writ applications of the petitioners. The appeals of the State of Bihar were taken up along with several other L.P.As. and writ applications by a Division Bench of this Court which directed the respondents to constitute a Five-Men Committee to look into the cases of the writ petitioners for their absorption in terms of the observations made by the Apex Court in paragraph 44 of the case of Secretary of Karnataka Vrs. Uma Devi [2006 (2) PLJR (SC) 363]. The cases of the petitioners were considered by the Committee and their absorptions were rejected on the ground that their appointments were illegal. Petitioners challenged the said finding of the Committee through C.W.J.C.No. 14786 of 2009 and C.W.J.C.NO.14612 of 2009, respectively. The said writ applications of the petitioners have been allowed by a Bench of this - 3 - Court vide order dated 30.11.2009. A copy of the said order has been annexed as Annexure-14 with the supplementary affidavit filed on behalf of the petitioners today. While allowing the writ applications of the petitioners, findings of the Committee and subsequent termination orders have been quashed and the Bench has directed the respondents to reinstate petitioners in service on the post on which they were earlier working with all consequential benefits. In view of these developments, the grievances of the petitioners stand fully redressed as there is already an order of a Bench of this Court to reinstate services of the petitioners with all consequential benefits which means that salary of the petitioners, arrears as well current, has to be paid to them upon their joining on the post on which they were working. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have already joined and therefore, the respondents are only to pass consequential orders for payment of salary of the petitioners in terms of the said order dated 30.11.2009 passed in the said writ applications - 4 - of the petitioners and other analogous cases by a Bench of this Court vide Annexure-14. In view of this factual position, respondents are directed to pass appropriate orders for payment of dues of the petitioners within four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With the aforesaid observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. B.T (J. N. Singh, J.)
