IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1562 of 2003 MUDRIKA PRASAD son of late Prasadi Saw, resident of village- Mandi, Police Station and District- Nalanda….Petitioner. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The Secretary, Health Services, Government of Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna. 3. The Chief Medical Officer-cum- Civil Surgeon, Nalanda. 4. Dr. Shailendra Narain son of Name not known District Tuberculosis, Bihar Sharif, Nalanda. 5. Sri Radha Raman son of name not known, Assistant posted in District Tuberculosis Centre, Bihar Sharif, Nalanda. ….. Respondents. ----------- 3. 26.07.2010 Heard counsel for the petitioner. No one appears for the State. The prayer of the petitioner made in this writ petition reads as follows:- “ 1. That this is an application for issuance of an appropriate writ/ writs/ direction/ directions directing the respondents to pay difference or revised pay scale with effect from 1.1.1996 to 31. 1.1996 to the petitioner with interest in view of the Finance Department Resolution No. 660(F/2) dated 8.2.1999.” Counsel for the petitioner would very fairly submit that during the pendency of this writ petition, the grievance of the petitioner with regard to admissible payment of salary has been redressed on 30.7.2003 as is apparent form the following statement made in paragraph 2 no. 18 of the counter affidavit; “18. That the statement made in this para 13 of the writ petition it is stated that it is wrong and beyond the facts on the record that the petitioner has been made payment of difference of salary Rs.6323/- (Rs. Six thousand three hundred twenty three only) from April 1997 to January 1999 which was due for payment. It can be seen the application made by the petitioner on 20.7.2003 to the District Tuberculosis Bihar Sharif Nalanda, in which he had authorized to receive the due amount to his son Sri Paras Chaudravansi as he was ill and after getting cure he signed on the acquitance Roll on 30.7.2003.” That being so, this writ petition has become infructuous and is dismissed accordingly. kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
