IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10229 of 2006 SHANTI KUMARI, A.N.M., WIFE OF RAMBABU RAM, R/O- VILLAGE DHANIYA BEGICHA, P.S. BELA, DISTRICT- GAYA, PRESENTLY POSTED AS A.N.M. PRIMARY HEALTH CENTRE, BELAGANJ, DISTRICT- GAYA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR, THROUGH THE COMMISSIONER & SECRETARY, HEALTH DEPARTMENT, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 2. THE CIVIL SURGEON-CUM-CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER, GAYA 3. THE INCHARGE MEDICAL OFFICER, PRIMARY HEALTH CENTRE, BELAGANJ, GAYA 4. THE INCHARGE MEDICAL OFFICER, PRIMARY HEALTH CENTRE, NAGAR PRAKHAND, GAYA 5. THE DISTRICT PROVIDENT FUND OFFICER, GAYA ----------- 4. 10.05.2011 No one is present for the petitioner. Counter affidavit has been filed by the Incharge Medical Officer, Primary Health Centre, Belaganj, Gaya and the Incharge Medical Officer, Primary Health Centre, Nagar Prakhand, Gaya as well as by the District Provident Fund Officer, Gaya. The petitioner’s grievance appears to be that she being an A.N.M. is not getting her due salary and due credit of her deductions in respect of provident fund. From counter affidavit it appears that there is a problem. The Provident Fund Officer states that from petitioner previous place of posting full returns were not available and as such due credit were not given, unfortunately has nothing to do with it, it latches on the part of State and its officials. With regard to her remuneration against the same story and petitioner is 2 not to be blame for anything. It is stated that the clerk memo counted by the Primary Health Centre where petitioner was posted was not handed over the records to his predecessor and in absence of record, it is difficult to make payment to the petitioner, this court finds it to be a very convenient to excuse to deny payment but not a valid or legal excuse. In view of the aforesaid reasons, I have no option but to direct the Civil Surgeon-cum-Chief Medical Officer, Gaya to immediately look into the problem and see that all petitioner’s provident fund deductions are duly credited in her account and up to date full salary is disbursed to her within two months from the date of production of copy of this order by the petitioner before the Civil Surgen and he shall be solely liable for full and time compliance of this order. With the aforesaid directions, this writ petition is disposed of. Fahad. (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
