IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10787 of 2010 ARCHNA KUMARI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3 18.3.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, respondent no.10 and the State. The writ application was filed by the petitioner alleging that after maternity leave the respondent did not allow her to join duty in the school and mark attendance.She has not been paid her salary for the concerned period. Since the respondents did not heed her request she was compelled to file writ application. A counter affidavit on behalf of the Incharge Headmaster has been filed wherein a clear statement has been made that the petitioner had never joined after 14.9.2009 in the school nor she has marked her attendance and in this regard he has filed herein a Xerox copy of the attendance register. Counsel for the petitioner thereafter submits that the Xerox copy of the attendance register cannot be relied upon as there could be some interpolation. Counsel for the respondent no.10 thereafter 2 produced original attendance register for both perusal of the petitioner as well as the Court. On perusal of the same the Court can only say that the petitioner has made a bald allegation merely because she is looking for certain benefits, which cannot be extended to her because of her own conduct. The Court is satisfied that there is no merit and material to show that she joined the school after leave. In view of above and the materials no direction can be given for payment. The writ application is dismissed. Anilkr.sinha (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
