SC slams Bihar over staff salary

‘‘We do not appreciate the stand taken by the state of Bihar now that it does not have any constitutional obligation towards a section of citizens, viz, the employees of the public sector undertakings who have not been paid salaries for years,’’ Justice Sinha said.

Advocate B.B. Singh, appearing on behalf of the state, had submitted that the state has no liability to pay the salaries of the employees of the statutory corporations/companies incorporated under the Indian Companies Act.
