There has been an occasion for a Division Bench of this Court in the case of Gautam Kumar Choudhary vrs. The State of Bihar & others reported in 2009 (1) PLJR 589, specially in paragraph-5 of the said decision that even in a case of illegal appointment the person cannot be denied his salary for the period he had worked. Taking queue from the said decision the prayer of the petitioners seems to be reasonable and in accordance with law. This writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the respondents that they will take steps for payment of salary of the petitioners at least for the period they had worked on due verification of record in this regard.
