IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.482 of 2011 Jitendra Kumar, son of Shri Bechan Nishad, resident of Mohalla – Mallahchak, Police Station – Jehanabad, District - Jehanabad Versus 1. The State Of Bihar through the Principal Secretary, Department of Finance, Government of Bihar, Old Secretariat, Patna-1. 2. The Managing Director, Bihar State Electronics Development Corporation Limited, Beltron Bhawan, Shashtri Nagar, Patna – 800023. 3. The Managing Director (Administration), Bihar State Electronics Development Corporation Limited, Beltron Bhawan, Shashtri Nagar, Patna – 800023. 4. The District Magistrate, Jehanabad. 5. The District Treasury Officer, Jehanabad. ----------- 03. 4.7.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Even though notices have been validly served upon Beltron, respondent Nos. 2 and 3, there is no representation on their behalf in the present writ. Petitioner was one of the persons who was appointed on contract to work as Data Entry Operator. He was deputed to work in Jehanabad Treasury in that capacity and he joined Jehanabad Treasury and worked as a Data Entry Operator between 17.12.2008 to 31.7.2010. Claim of the petitioner for remuneration from the treasaury authorities was of no avail because their stand used to be that payment has to be released by the Beltron and not by them as the petitioner in no manner employee of the Treasury and Treasury has no provision for making payment directly to such person. State is said to be a model employer. Same is also 2 expected to be true with regard to State run corporation. The Court expects certain norms and conduct by organizations which are at least State run. Petitioner has approached even the Managing Director of Beltron but obviously such small people do not have audience available nor do such organizations have time for trivial claims. There is no denial of the claim made by the petitioner. If that be so, then the Court has no hesitation in giving direction upon the Managing Director that he has an obligation to pay remuneration of the petitioner in terms of the appointment for the period he had worked in the Treasury, which is stated to be between 17.12.2008 to 31.7.2010. The payment must be made within a period of 8 weeks from the date of production of a copy of this order. After failure to do so, the Court may consider passing appropriate orders against the Managing Director for failure to carry out the direction as a citizen cannot be harassed in the fashion like this by State Corporation. The writ application is disposed of with above direction. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
