IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7904 of 2011 Rajendra Chaudhry son of late Baru Chaudhry, resident of Mohalla- Rajendra Nagar, P.S.-Khagaria, District-Khagaria. ..........Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar through Special Secretary, Labour Employment & Training, Directorate of Social Security, Bihar, Patna. 2. The District Magistrate, Khagaria. 3. The Block Development Officer, Gogri Block, District-Khagaria. ..........Respondents ----------- 02 11.08.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner is an employee, working under the jurisdiction of the District Magistrate, Khagaria. An order of transfer was passed posting the petitioner in the Social Security Cell at Khagaria on 30.06.2009. Transfer was from block office Gogri but the petitioner could not comply with the order of transfer because the Block Development Officer, Gogri, would not relieve him due to paucity of hands and wrote letters in this regard to the District Magistrate, making a request to allow him to continue. In the circumstance, petitioner continued on the original post which has created many problems for him because he is not getting his salary. He has made requests in this regard both before the Block Development Officer, Gogri as well as the District Magistrate, Khagaria. If assertion of the petitioner in this regard is correct, to some extent, it cannot be said that the petitioner did not obey the transfer order voluntarily and therefore problems created in non- payment of the salary, is required to be sorted out taking into consideration the background. 2 Be that as it may, the writ application is disposed off with a direction upon the District Magistrate, Khagaria, that taking cognizance of the application of the petitioner dated 19.03.2011 contained in Annexure-8, he shall pass appropriate orders or directions for payment of the salary of the petitioner with a time frame of three months from the date of production of a copy of this order. If any other steps are required to be taken in this regard, to sort out the issue it must be done within same time. The writ application is allowed with the above direction.
