IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10539 of 2009 LALAN PRASAD . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . 3 3.11.2009 This matter was taken up on 5.10.2009 and time was allowed to the counsel appearing for the State to seek instruction and file counter affidavit showing reason why payment of petitioner’s current salary as well as arrears of salary is not being paid by the Panchayat Secretary and Mukhiya of Gram Panchayat Raj-7, Bahrouli in the district of Saran at Chapra. Petitioner’s case is that he is continuously working on his post and the fund for payment of salary has also been released through Cheque No. 843667 dated 17.3.2009. Despite the fact that the fund has been released and it has been received by the Panchayat Secretary and Mukhiya of the concerned Gram Panchayat, still for some illegal reason payments are not being made. Considering the fact that the respondents are keeping mum and not filing any reply showing reason for payment of salary, this application is being disposed of directing the concerned Panchayat Secretary and Mukhiya of the concerned Gram Panchayat to look into the matter and payment of salary which has been stopped should start at once specifically within a period - 2 - of two weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. All entire arrears of salary should be paid and the payment current salary should start which shall continue on month to month basis. (Mridula Mishra,J.) A.Kumar -----------
