IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10653 of 2002 BHAGIRATH SAH & ANR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3/ 27/02/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State of Bihar. Faced with the difficulty that the primary relief sought for was against the Primary Agriculture Credit Society (hereinafter referred to as ‘PACS’) concerned for payment of wages where the petitioner is stated to have been a Manager, learned counsel for the petitioners prays for leave to implead the ‘PACS’ as respondent No.4. He is permitted to do so during the course of the day. Since the primary responsibility for payment of wages lies with the ‘PACS’, which was not originally impleaded as a party respondent, this Court considers it proper to dispose of the writ application with the liberty to the petitioners to file a representation before the ‘PACS’ concerned for arrears of salary for the period- January, 1999 to November, 2000. If such representation is filed, this Court expects the ‘PACS’ concerned to consider the same appropriately and, if required or necessary, forward the 2 same to the concerned respondents so that the claim of the petitioners may be considered, dealt with and disposed of appropriately in accordance with law, preferably with a period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application is disposed. KC (Navin Sinha, J.)
