IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14780 of 2007 SRI RAJENDRA TIWARI son of Sri Ashu Tiwari, retired Field Officer, Land Development Bank,Patna, resident of Sankat Mochan Nagar, New Police Line, District-Bhojpur. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR through Co-operative Secretary, Govt. of Bihar, New Secretariate,Patna. 2. The Managing Director, Land Development Bank, Budh Marg,Patna. 3. The Senior Accounts Officer, Land Development Bank, Budh Marg,Patna. ----------- 3 16.2.2009 Petitioner was not paid salary for about 36 months, which is not in dispute. In the counter affidavit, all that is said is that the salary for the months of August, 2005 to December, 2005 and for January, 2007 will be paid according to serial. So far as gratuity and leave encashment are concerned, in para 12 of the counter affidavit, it is stated that they are collecting papers for processing the same. These are lame excuse to deny payment of legitimate dues of retrial dues even the salary is in arrear. In view of the statements made in the counter affidavit, the dues being admitted, I direct that by 31st March, 2009, entire salary, due of the petitioner for the entire period of 36 months along with leave encashment and gratuity, be paid by the Managing Director, Land Development Bank, Budh Marg, Patna and in case the same is not paid by the said date, the Managing Director should be ready to face the proceedings for contempt and would not be entitled to draw any amount or perquisite of any nature from the Bank. This disposes of the writ petition. SINGH (Navaniti Pd. Singh, J.)
