IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5386 of 2009 ANITA DEVI @ ANITA KUMARI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- CWJC No.5391 of 2009 NILIMA NILAM Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- CWJC No.5400 of 2009 MALTI DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 28.04.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners and the learned Counsel for the State. The claim of the petitioners is that pursuance to appointment as Shiksha Mitra, having acquired the status of Panchayat Shikshak their salary has been stopped from April 2007 and that their representations to respondent no. 3 have not evoked any response. If the petitioners have worked and discharged duties, there are no orders for withholding salary, denial of salary may raise issues of Articles 21 and 23 of the Constitution of India. It is unfortunate that for routine administrative matters writ petitions have to be filed. This Court directs respondent no.1 that on receipt or presentation of a copy of this order before him, he shall issue necessary instructions to respondent no. 3 to do the needful in accordance with law and report compliance to respondent no. 1 within such time that respondent no. 1 may fix for the purpose. In the event of non cooperation by respondent no. 3, the respondent no. 1 shall be obliged to take appropriate departmental action against respondent no. 3. Let the order of this Court be complied and the legitimate dues of the petitioner paid in accordance with law within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order. It is made clear that this Court has not gone into merits of the matter and all administrative aspects are required to be examined by the respondents after verification of their own record with regard to the claim of the petitioners. The writ applications stand disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
