IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4902 of 2004 DR.PRADEEP KUMAR PANDEY, Son of Dr. Rajeshwar Dutt Pandey, at present posted as Medical Officer, at Indian Lac Research Institute, Namkum, Ranchi, Town and District-Ranchi -------------Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The Secretary, Department of Labour Employment and Training, Government of Bihar, Vikash Bhawan, Patna 3. Director, Medical Services, Government of Bihar. ------------------Respondents ----------- 5. 22.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner wants a direction upon the respondents for regularizing his leave for the period 2.5.2001 to 17.5.2001 and 1.6.2001 to 31.1.2002 as the petitioner was stated to be unwell during that period for which he had given his leave application to the concerned authority. Because of the non- sanction or regularization of that leave, the last pay certificate has not been issued and petitioner has suffered financial loss and harassment as he cannot draw his salary from his place of posting. Even though the writ application was filed in 2004 and time was granted to the respondents to file their counter affidavit, no counter affidavit has been filed till date. Counsel for the petitioner is not in a 2 position to satisfy whether the prayer made in the writ application has been entertained by the respondents and the issue sorted out. In absence of a counter affidavit there is no assistance on this score from the respondents as well. In view of the above observation, this writ application is disposed of with a direction upon respondent no. 3, Director Medical Services, Government of Bihar that if the issue of regularization or sanction of leave of the petitioner for the period indicated above has not been sorted out, the same shall be done within a reasonable time frame provided the petitioner produces a copy of this order. The application is disposed of with the above direction. Anand Kr. ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
