IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.5773 of 2010 1. Devendra Prasad S/O Late Shiv Narayan Prasad, R/O Mozaffara, P.S - Islampur, District - Nalanda. Versus 1. The State Of Bihar. 2. The Registrar, Co-Operative Societies,New Secretariat, Patna. 3/ 15/09/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. A counter affidavit is stated to have been filed today in the registry on behalf of respondent No.2. The office shall place it on record. The Court requested the counsel for the State to make available his copy for perusal so as not to hold up the proceedings. In C.W.J.C. No.12787/05 filed by the petitioner directions were given to consider grant of second time bound promotion and A.C.P. bereft of the three punishment orders against him. The respondents after such consideration on 8.4.2009 have granted him second time bound promotion with effect from 22.12.1994 but have rejected his claim for A.C.P. for reason of the three punishment orders. The counter affidavit filed today states at paragraph-7 that the punishment of censure does not affect the years for which A.C.P. promotion is due (this 2 obviously refers to all the three punishment orders though not clearly mentioned in the counter affidavit), and that the claim to that extent shall be considered in the next departmental promotion/screening committee meeting. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that liberty may be granted, if so advised, to prefer any application for shifting of the date of the second time bound promotion. Let the respondents consider the claims of the petitioner for grant of A.C.P. including any representation for revision of his date of second time bound promotion together within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. If the respondents find justification in the claim or in any part of the claim, necessary consequential orders shall be passed within the same period. The writ application stands disposed.
