IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4639 of 2003 YOGESH NARAYAN DAS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 4. 6.8.2009 No one appears for the petitioner. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application for quashing of an order dated 23.9.2002 seems to be wholly misconceived, inasmuch as it is settled principle of law that the salary can only be paid for the work done. Here in this case the Director General of Bihar State Sports Authority has passed a reasoned order holding that since the petitioner was not present on duty and in fact was unauthorizedly absent for long period he would not be entitled for payment of such salary. This Court would not find any error in such approach and consequently the impugned order passed by the concerned competent authority cannot be interfered. That being so, this application is wholly misconceived and is accordingly dismissed. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
