Petitioner was appointed as an alternate vaccinator at Primary Health Centre, Runni Saidpur and the said appointment letter is annexure-1 dated 8.1.2007. Petitioner has been getting her honorarium for the work performed for some time but after April, 2008 she has not been paid the said amount due to non allotment of funds. This fact seems to be also borne out from the information she had obtained under Right to Information Act as would be evident from annexure-2. petitioner thereafter has even filed an application before the Principal Secretary, Health Department, Govt. of Bihar for release of fund for payment to her but no action has been taken. This writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the Principal Secretary, Health Department, Government of Bihar that taking cognizance of the application of petitioner contained in annexure-3, he shall look into the matter and ensure that necessary funds are allotted to the Centre for - 2 - payment to the petitioner because she is still working on the said post without payment. State is saddled with the responsibility with such payment which must ensure that such steps are taken within a period of three months from the date of production or communication of a copy of this order. This writ application is disposed of with the above direction. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
