In the considered opinion of this Court, when in the counter affidavit, the State has categorically taken a plea that the petitioner did not work in the aforesaid period, this Court would find it difficult to direct for payment of salary. If, however, the petitioner can still demonstrate that he had worked in the relevant period, the competent authority would re-consider the grievance of the 2 petitioner taking into account that he has already retired from service. With the aforementioned observations, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
