Respondents ---------------------------------- 3. 08/08/2011 Annexure-3 is the order of the Deputy Development Commissioner, Jehanabad dated 16.7.2005. Learned counsel for the petitioners accepts that by this order, petitioners have been held entitled for House Rent Allowance as per Bihar State Employees (House Rent Allowance) Rules, 2 1980. The only grievance of the petitioners is that they should be held entitled for this House Rent Allowances with effect from 1.1.1995 in terms of Classification List issued by the Government through letter no.2325 dated 16.5.1995, as contained in Annexure-1, and revised House Rent Allowance as per revised scale in terms of the Resolution of the Government dated 8.2.1999, as contained in Annexure-2. Admittedly, petitioners have not filed any representation in the matter before any of the respondents. Respondents have also not filed any counter affidavit in the case so far. In the circumstances, this writ application is disposed of with a direction to the petitioners to file a representation before the Deputy Development Commissioner, Jehanabad within four weeks from today. If they do so, the Deputy Development Commissioner shall consider the representations of the petitioners, shall examine their entitlement to the House Rent Allowances in terms of the said letter of the Government dated 16.5.1995 and revise 3 House Rent Allowance in terms of Government Resolution dated 8.2.1999, and shall pass orders in accordance with law, preferably within a period of two months from the date of filing of the representation.
