IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10636 of 2000 SWATANTRA KUMAR JHA Versus BHUPENDRA NARAYAN MANDAL UNIVERSITY & ORS ----------- 8. 27.03.2009 Heard leaned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the B.N.Mandal University. The matter relates to a claim for salary from February 1997 onwards. The petitioner claims that in pursuance of his appointment on daily wages on Class IV post he came to be regularised by Annexure 4 dated 4.9.1996 by the University. The order was not conditional in any manner with regard to the issue of regularisation. The petitioner is only now being made aware from the counter affidavit that his services had allegedly been terminated on 8.3.1997 communicated to him by a letter dated 24.3.1997. Even that letter refers to his status as a daily wager and not a regular employee. The question of terminating his status of a daily wage when he no more held the same simply does not arise. In any event the petitioner proposes to question the same in a freshly constituted writ application. To this Court, issues of salary are issues of facts. A person may not be entitled to salary for days for which he may not have worked. Another question coming to the mind of this Court is if the order of termination had been passed on 8.3.1997 surely the petitioner must have been prevented from working. If he was prevented from working then he has to answer why he has not questioned the same before this Court till date in an Interlocutory Application. If, he was not prevented from working then the University as to answer with regard to its own order dated 8.3.1997. The writ application is therefore raising purely an administrative issue requiring no adjudication of legal issues. The writ application is disposed with directions to the respondent no.2, the Vice Chancellor of B.N.Mandal University to examine the claim of the petitioner for salary in accordance with law and the aforesaid discussion, and then pass appropriate orders thereupon within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt and/or presentation of a copy of this order.
