IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6051 of 2009 JAI GOVIND PRASAD VERMA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 14.5.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The relief sought in the writ application is for payment of salary in between 1.9.1985 to 14.10.1986. The writ petition has been filed in the year 2009. There is no material in the writ petition to demonstrate that the petitioner has moved before the authorities for making his claim for salary, before approaching this Court. The pleading in the writ application is vague and not supported by any documents. When the petitioner has rushed years later directly to this Court, the Court finds it difficult to grant him any relief. The reluctance of this Court to interfere on that ground shall not absolve the respondents as a Welfare State, to examine the claim of the petitioner. If his claim be valid, surely the State itself would not like to violate Article 23 of the Constitution of India. These are aspects to be examined by respondent no. 2 by a reasoned and speaking order expeditiously. The writ application is disposed off. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
