IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA. CWP No. 7051 of 2011-H. Decided on: 22nd November, 2011. Jugvir Singha. … Petitioner. Versus State of H.P. & anr. … Respondents. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Sanjay Karol, Judge. For the petitioner : Mr. Virender K. Verma, Advocate. For the Respondents : Mr. R.K. Bawa, Advocate General, with Mr. Ankush Dass Sood, Addl. AG and Mr. J.K. Verma, DAG. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral) The petitioner has approached this Court with certain grievances regarding delay in disbursement of his salary. As far as the employees are concerned, they should be paid their salary every month. It is actually the wages earned by an employee. We are informed that the salary has already been paid. Though the learned counsel has made a persuasive submission for interest, in the nature of the order we propose to pass, we reluctantly refrain from passing any order in that regard since the salary has already been paid. In case the salary to the petitioner is not paid every month, the second respondent shall not draw his salary and that the petitioner will be entitled to interest at the rate of 12% for 2 the delay and the officers responsible for the delay will be personally liable for the same. The writ petition is disposed of, so also the pending applications, if any. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice 22nd November, 2011. (Justice Sanjay Karol), (tr) Judge. 3
