IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7131 of 2002 SACHIDA NAND PANDEY Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3/ 27/01/2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The claim in this writ application is for payment of deputation allowance. T.A., D.A. etc. and also arrears of salary for the period 28.12.1999 to 8.3.2002. Learned counsel for the State submits that he has since received instructions that the petitioner was not entitled to deputation allowance and that no arrears of salary are due. However, in this writ petition filed in 2002 till date no counter affidavit has been filed. That, however, cannot detain the Court for the present. The respondents are directed to dispose off the representation of the petitioner dated 21.9.2001, at annexure-7A addressed to respondent No.5 in that regard. The legitimate dues, if any, of the petitioner be paid to him and if the respondents be of the opinion that he is not entitled to any of the claim or claims, a reasoned and speaking order in respect thereof be passed. Let compliance on both counts be done 2 within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. It will be open for the petitioner to file a fresh representation also along with a copy of the present order. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
