THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE DIRECTOR OF CHIEF, HEALTH SERVICES BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE REGIONAL DY. DIRECTOR, HEALTH SERVICES BHAGALPUR DIVISION, DISTT-BHAGALPUR 4. THE CIVIL SURGEON-CUM-CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER DISTT-BHAGALPUR 5. THE DY. SUPERINTENDENT SUB-DIVISIONAL OFFICE, NAUGACHIYA , DISTT-BHAGALPUR 6. THE IN-CHARGE MEDICAL OFFICER, ADDITIONAL PRIMARY HEALTH CENTRE TELHI, NAUGACHIYA, DISTT- BHAGALPUR ----------- 02. 29.4.2011 This is a frivolous kind of writ which has been filed on behalf of the petitioner. It is not only stale but may be even barred. Petitioner had approached the High Court way back in the year 1997 for a direction for payment of salary or whatever it may be for the period 15th August, 1994 till filing of the said writ application. Direction was given to the authorities to look into the matter and take steps for payment if there was no other legal impediments. Petitioner approached the respondents with a copy of the order and observation or direction was issued by the Regional Deputy Director, Health, Bhagalpur, by way of Annexure-3, which is dated 22.6.2001. Petitioner alleges that this amount was withdrawn by the Civil Surgeon but not paid to him due to extraneous reasons. Writ has now been filed because of a communication made to the petitioner dated 14.7.2009 2 contained in Annexure-6. Perusal of Annexure-6 would show that money was withdrawn but it was re-deposited in the treasury by the concerned Civil Surgeon because payment could not be to the petitioner on the ground of ‘no work no pay’ . In these circumstances, there cannot be an occasion to interfere with Annexure-6 or reach out the petitioner for any relief in such cases, which are more than 10 years old. With no explanation as to what steps petitioner took after Annexure-3 was issued in the year 2001, such dead issue must be allowed to rest. Writ is dismissed. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
