IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9188 of 2003 NIRMAL KUMAR YADAV, son of late Ram Swaroop Yadav, resident of village Jakihat, P.S. Jakihat, District Araria … Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The Commissioner cum Secretary, Health Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna 3. The Civil Surgeon cum Chief Medical Officer, Araria 4. The Incharge Medical Officer, Additional Primary Health Centre, Palasi (Araria) … Respondents ----------- 3. 29.7.2010 No one appears for the petitioner. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reading as follows: “This is an application for issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing the respondents to make the payment of arrear of salary since December, 2002 and further for issuance of a writ or any other appropriate writ, order of direction commanding the respondents not to interfere for payment of the dues salary to the petitioner save and except in accordance with law.” seems to have been redressed as is clearly mentioned in the counter affidavit filed in this case wherein in paragraph 5 it has been stated as follows: “ It is stated that entire arrears of salary has been paid to the petitioner vide cheque no. 873694 2 dated 17.10.2003 drawn on State Bank of India, Araria Main Branch which has been received by the petitioner.” Thus, in view of aforesaid it would be clear that this writ application by efflux of time has become infructuous and is dismissed accordingly.
