The Block Development Officer, Beldaur, Manshi, District- Khagaria ----------- 02. 23.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The issue raised in the present writ application is limited to payment of salary to the petitioner for the period July, 2009 to January, 2010. Petitioner has retired as a Panchayat Secretary from Manshi Block in Khagaria district. The reason for non-payment of salary of this period is supposed to be the delay in implementation of the transfer order or the request of the petitioner for a posting at the fag end of his retirement for which he had earlier approached the High Court in CWJC No. 15061 of 2009. The Divisional Commissioner, Munger vide his order dated 10.12.2009 allowed him transfer and the petitioner joined the place of posting from where he retired. In these circumstances, some part of the payments for the period in 2 question has been made but for the period he has claimed for in the present writ application as has been indicated in the earlier part of the order has not been made. Now that the petitioner has superannuated and the materials for the period in question explaining the circumstances are there, there is an occasion for the respondents to sort out the issue of non-payment administratively. This writ application can be disposed of with a direction upon the District Magistrate, Khagaria that after taking cognizance of the above facts and the concerned order of the Divisional Commissioner coupled with his notification/order dated 23.1.2010 contained in Annexure-4, he will pass appropriate direction for payment of salary in question within the time frame of three months from the date of production of a copy of this order. If there are some legal impediments, the reason thereof will have to be communicated to the petitioner within the same time. Writ is disposed of. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
