Mandal --- Dated, the 25th July, 2008 We heard Additional Advocate General - IV for the appellants. 2. The single judge in the impugned order has noticed thus: “Moreover, the ground for rejection of the claim of the petitioner mentioned in the order contained in Annexure -6 is wholly unfounded, and untenable. I fail to appreciate that after promotion of the petitioner in the Bihar Agriculture Service how he can be denied of the benefit of the basic grade of the Bihar Agriculture Service, of which he became member by virtue of his promotion as Market Secretary – B with respect to which this court vide its judgment contained in Annexure -1 has already held that they are entitled to identical pay scales.” 3. The counsel for the appellants could not show us anything that may lead to an inference that the original writ petitioner (respondent no.1 herein ) did not become the Member of the Bihar Agricultural Service. 4. In this view of the matter, we find no justification to 2 interfere with the impugned order. 5. Letters patent appeal is dismissed in limine. R. M. Lodha, CJ. Kishore K. Mandal, J. Neyaz/-
