    Case Summary: CWJC/7019/2026 Prashant Kumar and Priya Satyam, employees of a private contractor (Sinha Decorators) working for Bihar's Education Department, sought mandamus directing the State to pay withheld salaries for March 2025 and six days in January 2025, plus interest and damages for alleged constitutional violations. The Patna High Court dismissed the petition, holding that since the petitioners were admittedly employed by a private agency rather than the State directly, their remedy lay before the Labour Court under the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, and directed them to file within 30 days. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
