VIJAY RAGHAV MISHRA, THE PANCHAYAT SECRETARY BLOCK DANDARI, DISTT.- BEGUSARAI ----------- 3/ 30/03/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Show cause is stated to have been filed on behalf of the opposite parties on 29.3.2011 which is not on record. The office shall place it on record. From the copy of the learned counsel for the State placed before the Court it finds that a specific statement has been made in paragraph-8 that the joining of the petitioner has been accepted and necessary steps are being taken for payment of salary to the petitioner. With regard to the aspect of payment of salary mentioned in the show cause, learned counsel relies 2 upon a similar order of the Court in M.J.C. No.661/10 as follows:- “Learned counsel for the State invites the attention of the Court to the statement made in paragraph-9 of the show cause filed by Abdul Haffij, Block Education Extension Officer, Block Dandari, District- Begusarai that steps had been taken for payment of salary to the petitioner. The statement having been made on oath in a show cause by a Government functionary during contempt proceedings, the Court is inclined to believe the same at this stage. If the deponent belies the faith put in him by the Court, serious consequences may ensue for the deponent. The Court expects that the assurance shall be fully complied by actual payment to the petitioner within a maximum period of eight weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order before the Block Education Extension Officer, Dandari, Begusarai.” The contempt application is disposed with similar directions and like observations except insofar as the Government functionaries are concerned.
