THE SUPERINTENDING ENGINEER, ROAD CIRCLE, ROAD CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT, SAHARSA. 5. THE EXECUTIVE ENGINEER, ROAD CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT, KHAGARIA. ----------- 2 15/11/2010 Most of the claim made in the writ application stands redressed by the decision taken subsequently by the respondents in this regard. This fact is not disputed by the petitioner. The issue now boiles down to non payment of salary for the period indicated in paragraph 12 of the writ application. In view of the disputed nature of claim made by the petitioner as well as the stand of the respondents, this Court has difficulty in granting the said relief and issuing a direction to the respondents to pay the same because that is a matter of verification of records as to when the petitioner had worked and when he did not - 2 - work. As such this writ application is disposed of with a direction to the concerned authority, namely, the Executive Engineer, Road Construction Department, Khagaria (respondent no. 5) that in case petitioner files an application with cogent material with regard to the claim of salary for the period indicated in paragraph 12 of the writ application, the same will be verified and final decision will be made known to the petitioner within a period of four months from the date of production or communication of a copy of this order. This writ application stands disposed of with the liberty aforesaid. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
