Inter-State Liability for Salary Arrears | Jharkhand HC Holds Bihar Liable for Retired Employees' Dues Despite School Transition : Jharkhand HC

Jharkhand High Court ruled that the State of Bihar remains liable for salary arrears of six retired employees from 1999-2007, rejecting claims of school closure or non-regularization. The Court mandated payment within four weeks, warning of personal liability for officials in case of delay, reinforcing inter-state accountability in public employment disputes.
