THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH SECRETARY RURAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 2. ZILA PARISHAD THROUGH DEPUTY DEVELOPMENT COMMISSIONER-CUM-CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, PATNA ----------- 06. 29.06.2010 Counsel for the Zila Parishad has filed counter affidavit, which is taken on record. 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the Zila Parishad, Patna. 3. It is submitted by the counsel for the Zila Parishad that petitioner having superannuated in the year 2000 has been paid all his retiral dues taking into account that he was allowed promotion on the post of Mishrak on 23.8.1980 and thereafter second time bound promotion on 23.8.1995 and other employee of the Zila Parishad, namely, Kedar Thakur with whom petitioner is claiming pay parity was first granted first time bound promotion on 1.4.1981 and thereafter promotion on the post of Mishrak on 9.7.1982. After grant of promotion to said Kedar Thakur on the post of Mishrak his salary increased a little more than the petitioner but after petitioner was allowed second time bound promotion his salary increased many fold than Kedar Thakur as Kedar Thakur was never allowed second time bound promotion. In the circumstances, petitioner should have claimed pay parity with Kedar Thakur when there was anomaly created in the year 1982 and not at this belated stage after retirement in 2000 by filing the present writ case on 6.5.2010. In appreciation of the aforesaid facts, the writ application is dismissed. Rajesh/ (V.N. Sinha, J.)
