Respondents ---------------------------------- 2 08.08.2011 Heard Sri Ravi Shankar Sahay, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Manoj Kumar, learned A.C. to Standing Counsel No. VI, who appears on behalf of all the Respondents/State. The petitioner, who had retired with effect from 28/2/1998 as ‘Teacher’ from Middle School Ruppur, Bhabua, in the District of Kaimur, has filed the writ petition with a prayer to direct the Respondents to pay his retrial dues i.e. un-utilised earned leave, gratuity and salary of selection grade and revise his pay scale with effect from 1996. Learned counsel for the State submits that a detailed counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of Respondent No. 4. It was further submitted that the petitioner’s pay has already been revised and authority letter was also issued by the Accountant General (A&E), Bihar, Patna vide ‘Annexure – D’ to the counter affidavit of Respondent No. 4. Accordingly, it was submitted that since the grievances of the petitioner have already been redressed the writ petition may be disposed of. Sri Ravi Shankar Sahay, learned counsel for the 2 petitioner, has drawn my attention to statement made in paragraph no. 6 of the counter affidavit and it was submitted that from statement made on oath by Respondent No. 4 it appears that claim of the petitioner for grant of super selection grade is still under process. It was submitted that the Respondents may be directed to take final decision on the said issue without any delay keeping in view the fact that petitioner retired long back in the year 1998. In view of the fact that the grievances of the petitioner have already been redressed there is no need to further keep the matter pending. Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of. However, in view of statement made in paragraph no. 6 of the counter affidavit, Respondents are directed to finalise the claim of the petitioner for super selection grade as stated in paragraph no. 6 of the counter affidavit without any delay and it must be decided within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this Order. With above observation and direction the writ petition stands disposed of. Praful (Rakesh Kumar, J.)
