The State Of Bihar Through Secretary, Rural Development Department Government Of Bihar, Patna 2. Secretary Gramin Kaarag Vibhag Government Of Bihar, Patna 3. The District Collector East Champaran, Motihari 4. Deputy Collector , Establishment East Champaran, Collectorate, Motihari ---------------------------------- 3. 20.12.2011 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the State. No counter affidavit has been filed despite an earlier adjournment granted for the purpose. The petitioner was an employee in the Bihar State Road Transport Corporation. He has subsequently been absorbed in the services of the State Government. The question for consideration is if the period of service rendered in Corporation has to be taken in to consideration for the purposes of time bound promotion and reckoning of pensionable service. Learned Counsel for the petitioner relied upon a similar order of the Court in CWJC No. 1745 of 2008 allowing a claim of another employee from the Corporation itself. Rather than to adjourn the matter again for a counter affidavit the application is disposed with the following directions:- Let the petitioner produce a copy of the present order along with that of CWJC No. 1745 of 2008 before the concerned respondent. The respondents are obliged to consider his claim in light of the discussions contained in the same. If the respondents propose to distinguish his case from that of the petitioner in CWJC No. 1745 of 2 2008 they are obliged furnish him the grounds in writing with an opportunity for personal hearing and then pass a reasoned and speaking order on the point of distinction to deny the relief based on parity. Let this order be complied with by the respondents within a maximum period of six months from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed.
