THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH AGRICULTURE PRODUCTION COMMISSIONER, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA---RESPONDENTS ----------- 2 1.3.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. This Court is not willing to pass any direction on the merit of the claim of the petitioners on the ground that there is no demand made on behalf of the petitioners upon the respondent Rejendra Agricultural University authority and there is no material - 2 - to show that there is either failure to perform the public duty demanded or any decision has been taken contrary to their interest. The Court is of the opinion that the petitioners have rushed to the High Court even before moving the authority with regard to certain pay scale which they are looking for under ACP scheme. Learned counsel for the university points out that in terms of annexure-4 dated 3.11.2009 certain benefits have already been given and this is not under challenge in this writ application. Be that as it may the petitioners would be well advised to move the competent authority of Rajendra Agricultural University with regard to pay scale which they are entitled to. If the respondents accept their contention the follow up action will be taken. If their contention is not accepted then petitioners may have remedy at that stage by moving the Court. This writ application is disposed of with a liberty as above. The Courts expects at an early decision of the dispute, if raised by the petitioners. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
