IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2417 of 2009 BRAJ NANDAN PRASAD YADAV Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 20/2/2009 Heard Mr. Dhirendra Kumar, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and counsel for the State. The grievance of the petitioner, who is Sub. Inspector of Police, is only with regard to payment of certain portion of his salary from the year 2001 up to 2003. It appears that the petitioner has already filed number of representations to the competent authority, namely, the Superintendent of Police, Muzaffarpur as also the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna, but no action thereon has been taken till date. In the opinion of this Court, if grievance being raised by the petitioner as with regard to payment of salary for the period the petitioner is said to be 2 absent on duty on account of his being on leave, the same needs to be at least examined and decided by the competent authority. In that view of the matter, this Court would direct the petitioner to file a fresh copy of representation separately to the Superintendent of Police, Muzaffarpur as also to the Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna with regard separate portion of claim for payment of salary for the year 2001 to 2003 as projected in this application and in the event such representation is filed by the petitioner both the aforementioned authorities would be under obligation to dispose it of by passing a reasoned order within a period of three months from the date of such filing. It goes without saying that if the petitioner is found entitled for payment of any portion of salary in terms of order of Superintendent of Police, Muzaffarpur and/or Senior Superintendent of Police, Patna, the same will also be paid to the petitioner within a period of one month of 3 such decision. With the above observation and direction this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.) Abhay Kumar
