IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2370 of 1999 JWALA PRASAD SHARMA Versus SMT.SUSHMA SINGH & ORS ----------- 12. 13.8.2009 It is the admitted position, so far as the direction of this Court is concerned that the respondents will pay the admitted arrears of salary in favour of the petitioner which is due for any earlier period and the period from 1.4.1991 to 14.12.1995 immediately, that the same has been paid to the petitioner. The petitioner is seeking payment of salary for the period after 15.12.1995 in terms of the decision in the case of Subhash Chandra and others vs. State of Bihar and others: 1994 (2) PLJR 359. In the order under contempt dated 3.7.1997, this Court has clearly held that the petitioner may agitate the matter, if nothing is paid within a period of one year thereafter. Agitating any grievance cannot mean approaching this Court by way of contempt application. The same has to be done in other ways than the present proceedings. The contempt application is, accordingly, dismissed. It will be open to the petitioner to agitate his said grievance before an appropriate forum. VPS (Ramesh Kumar Datta, J.)
