IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8138 of 2010 PANKAJ KUMAR S/O PRABHU SAO R/O VILL.- CHHOTI CHHARIYARI, P.S. AND DISTT.- NALANDA. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, JEHANABAD 3. THE DISTRICT WELFARE OFFICER, JEHANABAD 4. THE DISTRICT PROJECT OFFICER, DISTRICT HELPLINE CELL, JEHANABAD ----------- 2. 28/02/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Prayer of the petitioner in this writ application is very simple. He prays for a direction to the respondents to pay his fixed honorarium of the period 10.10.2008 to February, 2009 during which period, as per his claim, he worked as Counselor in the District Helpline Cell, Jehanabad. It is admitted that after February, 2009 petitioner could not continue on account of the fact that he met with an accident, but of the prior periods, he claims honorarium as he had worked. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the attendance sheet, copy whereof is Annexure-7, shows that the petitioner was on duty during this period. He refers to Annexure-8, representation filed by the petitioner before the District Magistrate on 5.12.2009 for payment of his honorarium 2 which, as per submission of learned counsel for the petitioner, has not yet been considered and no orders have been passed on the same till today. In the circumstances, this writ application is disposed of with a direction to the District Magistrate, Jehanabad to consider the representation of the petitioner and get the fact verified as to whether petitioner had worked between 10.10.2008 and February, 2009 and honorarium of this period was paid to him or not. Learned counsel for the petitioner, at this stage, submits that the claim of the petitioner has already been processed in File No.XXII of 2008 and all recommendations are in favour of the petitioner. In that view of the matter, it is advisable that the payment of honorarium of the petitioner be released within one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Pradeep/ ( J. N.
