THE MANAGING DIRECTOR, BIHAR STATE ELECTRONICS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION LIMITED, BELTRON BHAWAN, SHASTRI NAGAR, PATNA-23 ----------- 2. 3.3.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The petitioners claim to be contractual appointees inter alia on the post of Data Entry Operator made in April, 2008. The appointment is stated to be on payment of honorarium. The terms and tenure of appointment agreement entered between the parties for the same has not been brought on record by the petitioners. The grievance of the petitioners is with regard to non-payment of their honorarium despite discharge 2 of duties by them. From the documents annexed to the writ petition, it appears that the petitioners represented for their honorarium on 24.7.2009/13.11.2009. Counsel for the respondent no. 7, very fairly states that if the petitioners have been appointed on contract basis and are discharging duties, they are entitled to their honorarium in accordance with law. The respondent no. 7 is directed to consider the representation of the petitioners and dispose it by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of eight weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
