THE DEPUTY SECRETARY OF THE GOVERNMENT , HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA ----------- 3 02/05/2011 Despite indulgence shown to the State, they have failed to file any counter affidavit indicating their stand as to why the petitioners would not get the benefit of pay protection given to the teaching and non teaching staff of the minority schools of Bihar. There is evidence to show that such benefits have been extended to them from time to time. However, on a turn around now the State has sought to take away this benefit which had already accrued to the petitioners on the basis of 6th Pay Revision Commission report. Instead of certifying the claim of the petitioners with regard to the prayer made in the writ application, the - 2 - Court would like to give yet another opportunity to the respondents authorities to state their position on the issue by taking a decision in this regard within a reasonable time frame. This writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the Principal Secretary, Human Resources Department, Government of Bihar that on the petitioners’ filing application with a copy of this order with regard to the grievance which they sought for in the present writ application, he will be obliged to pass a speaking order and communicate the same within a time frame of three months from the date of production of a copy of this order and filing of such an application. This writ application stands disposed of with the direction aforesaid. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
