IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6061 of 2005 UPENDRA NARAYAN CHOUDHARI, son of latge Ajab lal Choudhari, resident of Village – Maujma, P.o. Narayanpur, P.S. Bhabanipur Phanri, District – Bhagalpur. ___________ Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The District Superintendent of Education, Bhagalpur. 3. The District Provident Fund Officer, Bhagalapur. 4. Treasury Officer, Bhagalpur. _________ Respondents ----------- 04. 24.02.2009 Learned counsel for the petitioner categorically states that petitioner has not been paid interest on the difference of salary for the period 1.1.1971 to 31.3.1973 even if the factum of payment is accepted in terms of the counter affidavit. Looking at the time frame when this claim has been raised in the present writ application the Court refuses to pass any categorical order in this regard. It will be open to the petitioner to demonstrate before the concerned authority that the payment did not include statutory interest. If the claim with regard to payment of D.A. is found to be tenable the same will also be considered along with the claim of interest. The writ application stands disposed of. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
