IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.1118 of 2009 Mahendra Sharma, son of Late Banwari Sharma, resident of village Murma, P.S. Goh, District- Aurangabad, Bihar …………. Petitioner Versus 1.The State Of Bihar 2.Mr.Onkar Prasad Singh, District Superintendent of Education, Aurangabad 3.Mr.Ram Awatar Singh @ Ram Awatar Yadav, Head Master, Middle School, Goh, Aurangabad ………… Opp.Parties. ----------- 12. 21/07/2010 This Court finds that the order of this Court dated 2.2.2009 passed in MJC No.3319 of 2008 was not clear as to from which date petitioner will be entitled to calculation of interest on his dues amount. Opposite parties have calculated interest on the due salary of the petitioner from the month his salary became due. In that way, they have paid an amount of Rs.12,162/- to the petitioner towards interest. Now, in the show cause filed on behalf of opposite party no.2 on 10.2.2010, it is stated that an excess amount of Rs.1611/- has been paid to the petitioner towards interest. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that interest was required to be paid to the petitioner at 10% flat rate on the total dues amount which admittedly comes to Rs.16689/-. This Court does not find that the - 2 - interpretation made by learned counsel for the petitioner is correct. Therefore, no contempt is made out in the matter. However, it is made clear that the amount which has already been paid to the petitioner towards interest, allegedly in excess of the due, shall not be recovered from the petitioner. This contempt application is disposed of. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh, J.)
