CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER-CUM-CIVIL SURGEON NAWADAH 5. THE OFFICER IN-CHARGE PRIMARY HEALTH CENTRE, NARDIGANJ, DISTT.- NAWADAH ----------- 02. 29.11.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Despite the filing of the writ petition after serving of two copies in the office of the Advocate General on 25.01.2010 no counter affidavit has been filed. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that notwithstanding the directions of the District Magistrate, Nawada dated 12.5.2009 to the In-charge Medical Officer, Nardiganj to pay the arrears of rent for the premises taken on hire from the petitioner for Government use and which has been vacated, the arrears are not being paid. The writ petitioner appears to be raising purely administrative issues in the form of litigation due to an administrative indolence. The In-charge Medical Officer, Primary Health Centre, Nardiganj is required to act in accordance with the instructions of the District Magistrate dated 12.5.2009 2 within a maximum period of one month from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, failing which as directed by the District Magistrate he shall be held personally responsible when the State Government through the Secretary-Cum-Commissioner, Department of Health or the District Magistrate, Nawada as the case may be shall proceed appropriately not only departmentally against the In-charge Medical Officer but shall also ensure immediate payment of the undisputed arrears, if necessary, from the salary of the Officer concerned, but after due opportunity to him. The application stands disposed. P.K ( Navin Sinha, J.)
