IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1326 of 2009 Sanjivan Prasad Sharma Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 02. 29.06.2011 Petitioner was working as Class – III employee at Civil Surgeon Office, Gaya. A Departmental Proceeding had been initiated against him for alleged charges of defalcation. The Departmental Proceeding finally ended, awarding punishment of dismissal from service against the petitioner. The dismissal order had been challenged by the petitioner by filing another Writ Application, which is pending for disposal. Present Writ Application has been filed by the petitioner for a very specific relief, which relates to payment of his salary for the period May, 1993 to July, 1995. Earlier, with regard to payment of salary for this period, a direction had been issued in C.W.J.C. No. 7439 of 1995, vide Order dated 12.12.1995. Petitioner, thereafter, made several representations for payment of salary for this period, but till date the arrears of salary have not been paid to him and this is the reason that he again has to come before this Court, for similar direction. Counsel for the petitioner submits that he has 2 been instructed by his client that during the pendency of the Writ Application, an order has already been issued by the Civil Surgeon, Gaya to the concerned Medical Officer for making payment of arrears of salary for the period May, 1993 to July, 1995 to the petitioner. However, formal order has to be issued by the concerned Medical Officer for making payment of the arrears amount. Considering that necessary order for payment has already been issued by the Civil Surgeon, Gaya, who is the competent authority, this application is being disposed of. The concerned Medical Officer will make payment of entire dues of arrears of salary to the petitioner for the period May, 1993 to July, 1995 within one week from the date of production / communication of this order. Accordingly, this application is disposed of. SKM (Mridula Mishra, J.)
