THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE SARAN AT CHAPRA 5. THE CIRCLE OFFICER MARHOWRAH, SARAN ----------- 2/ 29/07/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner is stated to be the widow of one late Ram Naresh Prasad making a grievance with regard to the arrears of salary with effect from January, 2005 to August, 2007. The latter has been deceased on 4.7.2009. A representation has been filed by the son of the petitioner on 13.7.2009 addressed to the District Magistrate, Saran at Chapra. It is, indeed, unfortunate that routine administrative matters of arrears of salary which has normally to be decided at the administrative level, if an application is filed awaits a judicial order when no issues of law arise for adjudication. The District Magistrate, Saran is directed to dispose of the representation dated 13.7.2009 within a maximum period of two months from the date of - 2 - receipt/presentation of a copy of this order before him. It is expected that if the District Magistrate finds justification in the claim or any part of the claim, the consequential benefits shall be paid to the petitioner within the same period. The application stands disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
