IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9977 of 2007 VINDHYAVASI PANDEY & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS 04/ 22.07.2010 Copy of the order passed by the learned Single Judge has been placed on record. Issue raised in the present application, according to the petitioners, is covered by the decision dated 05.07.2010 rendered in CWJC No. 12526 of 2008 (Parsuram Singh & ors vs. The State of Bihar & ors). The issue with regard to withdrawal of benefit of Reduciable Pay Protection (R.P.P) which was given with effect from 01.05.1989 has been urged to have been passed without any opportunity or show cause and application of mind. Counsel for these petitioners submits that in identical situation the learned Single Judge has quashed the order withdrawing the said benefit and a direction has been given to the respondents to restore to the petitioners in the same pay scale as they were getting prior to issuance of the impugned order and as well to refund the payment already deducted, if any, from the salary/ACP of the petitioners on the basis of impugned orders contained in Annexure 3 and 3/1 dated 08.05.2007 and 16.05.2007 respectively. The reasoning given by the learned Single Judge in CWJC No. 12526 of 2008 is also available to the present petitioners. The writ application is allowed and the impugned orders as above are quashed. shahid (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
