IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5993 of 2009 MALA SHARMA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 14.5.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application is confined to payment of salary for some period when she had stood transferred on account of which she could work at the transferred place. Counsel for the petitioner would submit that ultimately the transfer order was quashed by this Court and a logical outcome would be that the petitioner should have been paid salary for the period covered by the transfer order. It is very difficult for this Court to hold so because in the order passed by this Court there is no direction to make payment of salary as a consequential relief. In that view of the matter, it will be open for the authorities to examine as to whether the petitioner in the concerned period had reported her duty at one place or the other and if it is found that the petitioner was disallowed to work on account 2 of the order of transfer or was prohibited from working by any authority, she will be entitled for payment of her salary. In that view of the matter this Court would direct the petitioner to file a representation to the Principal Secretary of the Department who within a period of three months of its receipt would himself decide such claim after looking into the relevant records. So far current salary is concerned, the authority must pay the same if the petitioner has resumed her duty and is working on the post. This application, with the aforesaid observations and directions is finally disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
