Nobody appears on behalf of the State when the matter is taken up. The writ petitioner, a practicing Advocate, has moved this Court for a direction to the respondents to pay his professional dues while he worked as Additional Public Prosecutor at Civil Court, Barh in the District of Patna. Initially the amount when the writ petition was filed was Rs. 95340/-. Learned counsel for the petitioner, on instructions, submits that about a week back the petitioner has been paid a sum of Rs. 87210/-. Thus an amount of only Rs. 8130/- remains unpaid. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the amount payable is subject to TDS but since no details have been given nor any TDS certificate granted, he is not in a 2 position to certify as to whether the entire payments legally due to him have been made by the respondents concerned. In view of the aforesaid, the writ petition stands disposed off with liberty to the petitioner to move before the District Magistrate, Patna who shall get the matter enquired into and shall provide the petitioner with the details of the payment which have been made. If there have been deductions including TDS, the same should also be explained. Pursuant to such communication to the petitioner, he may, if required, move before the appropriate authority for any further claim. Let the exercise be completed within one month from the date of production/receipt of a copy of this order upon the District Magistrate, Patna. Saif/- (Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
