IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1536 of 2000 MD.HANIF @ HANU & ANR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 8/ 13/8/2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. The controversy relates to the duties discharged by the petitioners after their admitted termination. Learned counsel for the petitioners relying upon a letter written by the concerned engineer, submits that the works were taken from them under orders of a superior officer. Learned counsel for the State urges on instructions that the officer in question has been proceeded against departmentally. If the petitioners have worked after their termination, this Court finds it difficult to direct the State to pay their wages. If an officer has taken work from them after their termination, nothing shall preclude the State from paying the wages of the petitioners from the salary and other dues of the officer concerned. The writ application is dismissed with the aforesaid observations. KC ( Navin Sinha,J )
