A counter affidavit is on record in which on oath it has been stated that the salary bills of the petitioner had been sent to the treasury, but the same could not be passed as in the meantime there was temporary ban imposed by the Finance Department on the withdrawal of arrears of bills for the period prior to 2 1.4.2001.

In view of such stand in the counter affidavit, this Court is not required to go into the merits of the case.

Before releasing of the said dues, he shall check-up as to whether the dues of the petitioner have already been paid to him or not. Arvind/ (J. N. Singh, J.)
