IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7233 of 2004 Bhagyawati Devi, Wife of Krishnadeo Singh, Resident of Village Karanpur Tola Kakrachak, P.S.& Anchal Bochahan, District Muzaffarpur. -------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. Commissioner-cum-Secretary, Human Resources Development Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 3. Director, Primary Education, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 4. District Magistrate-cum-Collector, Muzaffarpur. 5. District Superintendent of Education, Muzaffarpur. 6. Block Development Officer, Bochahan, P.S. & Anchal Bachahon, District Muzaffarpur. 7. Mukhiya Gram Panchayat Raj, Karanpur South Bochahan, District Muzaffarpur. --------- Respondents ----------- 4 22.11.2010 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State as with regard to the following relief:- “1(a) To issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ or writs direction or directions commanding upon the respondents to make payment of salary/stipend to the petitioner which is due from February, 2003 till today with interest permissible under law.” and taking into account that such prayer of the petitioner would remain confined to payment of her fixed stipend for her engagement on the post of Shiksha Mitra for the period February, 2003 to 5.7.2004 when the writ application was filed and that the admission on the part of the counsel for the 2 petitioner that certain amount for that period has already been paid, this Court would give liberty to the petitioner to approach the competent authority for release of the balance payment of salary for the period, in question, for which this writ application was filed. Let it be made clear that the future entitlement of payment of salary would depend on the condition in which her extension was made or she was absorbed on the post of Panchayat Shiksha. That being so, if the petitioner would file representation for payment of remaining stipend for the aforesaid period i.e. from February, 2003 to 5.7.2004, the same would be considered and the balance payment, if admissible and payable to the petitioner, would also be made within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With the aforementioned observations and direction, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
