IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15100 of 2006 Abdus Sukhan, Son of Hafiz Ataur Rahman, Resident of Village Genuma, P.O. Kanharia, P.S. Baisee, District Purnea. ------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The District Magistrate, Purnia. 3. The Block Development Officer, Dhamdaha Block, Purnia. 4. The Treasury Officer, Purnia. 5. The Accountant General, Bihar, Patna. --------- Respondents ----------- 3 04.05.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application is for payment of salary for the period 1.12.1990 to 28.2.2002. Accountant General and counsel for the State would point out that so far the payment of retirement benefit under which head this writ petition has been filed stands settled and total payment has already been made to the petitioner. Moreover, this Court would not encourage the writ petitioner with regard to a cause of action of payment of money of the year 1990 specially when the same was filed on 7.12.2006. Such stale claim of payment of salary which cannot be recovered even by filing a money suit is wholly unsustainable. 2 Accordingly, this application being devoid of any merit is hereby dismissed.
