IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12321 of 2009 SUDHA KUMARI . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2 1.12.2009 Heard Counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing on behalf of the State. Petitioner’s prayer is for a direction to the respondent to pay arrears of her salary for the period 25.12.2007 to 5.8.2008. Petitioner was appointed on the post of Panchayat Teacher but some confusion was created after her joining and vide letter No.4 dated 24.12.2007 her appointment was cancelled. Subsequently an inquiry was conducted and finally it was held that petitioner having higher qualification was entitled for being appointed on the post of Panchayat Shiksha Mitra, and subsequently absorbed on the post of Panchayat Teacher. Counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention towards the letter issued by the District Superintendent of Education, Nagarnousa, Nalanda and other authorities, whereby the petitioner’s appointment has been held legal and recommendation has also been made for payment of salary for the period 25.12.2007 to 4.8.2008. Despite this fact, payment of salary has not been made by Block 2 Education Extension Officer, Block Nagarnousa, Distt. Nalanda. This application is being disposed of directing the Block Education Extension Officer, Nagarnousa at Nalanda to make payment of arrears of salary for the period 25.12.2007 to 5.8.2008. Payment must be made within eight weeks from the date of production/communication of this order. (Mridula Mishra,J.) A.Kumar
