It has been processed but the final payments never emerged. After having waited patiently for couple of years petitioner moved the High Court. The Court fails to understand why litigation of this kind is being generated by the respondents and petitioner had to approach this Court of law for payment, when the supplies have been effected on the directions of the respondent concerned. The Court is constrained to record that it does not reflect well on the conduct or manner in which such institutions are run by people with responsibility, some of them being elected representative as well of the people. The writ application stands disposed of with a direction upon the Chairman, Zila Parishad, Muzaffarpur that the matter and - 2 - claim of the petitioner will be processed and the payment expedited preferably within three months from the date of communication/production of a copy of this order. If there is any dispute on the quantum or figure same will be communicated to the petitioner with reasons within the same time-frame.
