IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12251 of 2010 SURYA NARAYAN MANDAL S/O LATE GENDA MANDAL R/O MOHALLA- CHANAKYAPURI, RAJABAZAR, PATNA-14, P.S.- SHASTRI NAGAR, DISTT.- PATNA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE CHIEF SECRETARY BIHAR, PATNA 2. THE REGISTRAR GENERAL, HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA 3. THE LAW SECRETARY, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 4. THE SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL ADMINISTRATION GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 5. THE DISTRICT AND SESSIONS JUDGE, NALANDA AT BIHARSHARIF …… Respondents ----------- 5/- 10.03.2011 Heard the petitioner in person and Shri Devendra Prasad Sinha, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Patna High Court. The petitioner has claimed a due of Rs. 70,250/- for News Paper, Magazine and sumptuary allowance, for which he has given a letter of demand by Annexure-3 Series to this petition. The main grievance of the petitioner is that he has not annexed the actual receipt granted by news paper venders because the receipts are not available with him due to lapse of time. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the High Court has no objection in payment of the amount but his grievance is that there is an order of the Government dated 30th December, 2009 by which the actual reimbursement has to be made only on 2 the basis of furnishing of the receipts. It appears that due to lapse of time, it is very difficult to get reproduced actual receipts like receipts of News Paper, Magazine and Sumptuary amount. The break up given by the officer, which has been contained in Annexure-8 is a recent breakup and this may be treated as receipt produced by the petitioner and on that basis payment has to be made within a period of three months. This writ petition is disposed of in terms of the direction that the payment should be made in terms of Annexure-8. Ashwini/- (T. Meena Kumari, J.) (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
