IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.14509 of 2008 Dr.Lakshmi Kant, aged about 32 years, S/O Shri Shatrughan Sharma, resident of village Gopalpur, P.O. Mahmadpur, P.S. Bikram, District- Patna. …………. Petitioner Versus 1.The State Of Bihar 2.The Principal Secretary, Department of Health, Government of Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna 3.The Secretary, District Health Society, Arwal, District- Arwal 4.The Civil Surgeon-cum-Chief Medical officer, Arwal, District- Arwal. …………. Respondents ---------------------------------- 3. 10/08/2011 Petitioner’s grievance is that though he was appointed as Medical Officer on fixed remuneration of Rs.15,000/- per month for a period of 11 months from 31.3.2007, he has not been paid his remuneration for the period. It appears that the petitioner has already filed repeated representations in this respect before the Civil Surgeon-cum- Chief Medical Officer, Arwal. It goes without saying that if the petitioner was validly appointed as Medical Officer on contract basis and has worked as such during the period of contract, he is entitled for remuneration. In the circumstances, this writ application is disposed of with a direction 2 to the Civil Surgeon-cum-Chief Medical Officer, Arwal to consider the entitlement of the petitioner for remuneration for the period he has actually worked as per his contract and ensure that the dues of the petitioner are paid positively within two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
