IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6083 of 2008 GUDDY SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3. 27.4.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The claim in this application is for a direction to dispose off the representation of the petitioner dated 10.1.2008 for arrears of salary with effect from 11.1.2006. Surely the State itself would not like to violate Articles 21 and 23 of the Constitution of India. The application is disposed of with direction to respondent no. 2 to look into the grievances of the petitioner and issue necessary direction to his subordinate for what is purely an administrative matter at this stage and pass appropriate orders for payment of the necessary and legitimate dues of the petitioner within a maximum period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The respondent no. 2 while giving such direction shall consider for release of interest if he is satisfied that withholding of salary is without justified reason. The interest will be recovered from the salary of the erring officials and not to be ultimately borne by the State. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
