VERSUS 1. The State of Bihar, through the Principal Secretary, Department of Health, Government of Bihar, Patna. 2. The Director-in-Chief, Department of Health Services, Government of Bihar, Patna. 3. The District Magistrate, Gaya. 4. The Civil Surgeon-cum-Chief Medical Officer, Gaya. 5. The In-charge Medical officer, Primary Health Centre, Atari, District-Gaya. -Respondents. ----------- 03 06.07.2010 There is absolutely no reason why this writ petition should be kept pending in this Court. It is a matter of great regret that even though the writ petition has been pending for the two years, learned counsel for the State has not received any instructions from the State. The grievance of the petitioner is that because of illegal demands of the respondent-In-charge Medical Officer, Primary Health Centre, Atari, Gaya, he has withheld the salary of the petitioner initially from March to September 2008, but after the writ petition was filed the salary for back period was paid but thereafter nothing has been paid. There is clear averment that this is being done only to harass the petitioner. Let petitioner file a detailed representation in this regard to the Civil Surgeon-cum-Chief Medical Officer, Gaya who would ensure that the grievances of the petitioner are redressed. In - 2 - case, the petitioner is to get any money by way of arrears of salary and current salary, the Civil Surgeon-cum-Chief Medical Officer would ensure that the same is paid to him within one month. In case, for any reasons he finds that petitioner is not entitled to any part of the remuneration then the Civil Surgeon would pass a speaking and reasoned order indicating the grounds and reason for non-payment of salary. All this exercise should be completed within one month from the date of production of a copy of this order before the Civil Surgeon by the petitioner. With this observation and direction, the writ petition is disposed of. Trivedi (Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
