Judgment 1. Heard counsel for the parties. 2. By this application the petitioner seeks directions upon the respondents to pay his due salary with effect from 1.7.1993 to 2.2.1994. 3. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner was transferred from Haspura Block to Rafiganj, vide resolution dated 30.6.1993 which subsequently was challenged before this Court by way of writ application by the petitioner which was disposed of with a direction to the authorities to re-consider his case and pursuant to that the authorities considered his case and he was transferred from Rafiganj Block to Kutumba Block by virtue of the order as contained in Annexure-1 dated 25.1.1994 and due to these facts he could not join the transferred post. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that in view of the subsequent order passed by the authorities as contained in annexure-1 whereby and whereunder his place of posting was changed, he would be entitled for salary for the interregnum period. 4. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the respondents stating therein that since the petitioner had not worked for the period 1.7.1993 to 2.2.1994, he would not be entitled for salary on the principle of no work no pay. 5. From the facts, as noticed above, it appears to me that the petitioner challenged the order of transfer before this Court and ultimately the authorities changed his place of posting, vide order as contained in annexure-1 and thus the petitioner could not work in the interregnum period and thus the authorities were required to pay his salary for the period as there was no laches on his part. For withholding of the salary of the petitioner for the period aforesaid, no other plausible reason has been assigned in the counter affidavit as to whether his period of absence was treated to be break in service or it was treated to be leave without salary. For the reasons aforementioned, in my opinion, the petitioner would be entitled for his due salary, as referred to above. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this writ application is allowed and the respondent authorities are directed to make payment of his due salary for the period, as referred to above, within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
