IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.11427 of 2011 Jai Gobind Prasad SON OF LATE KARU MAHTO RESIDENT OF HAZARAT SARAI, P.S. DHANARUA, DISTRICT PATNA. Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. THE COMMISSIONER-CUM-SECRETARY, PANCHAYATI RAJ DEPARTMENT, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA. 3. THE COLLECTOR, PATNA. 4. THE DISTRICT PANCHAYATI RAJ OFFICER, PATNA. 5. THE BLOCK DEVELOPMENT OFFICER, BIHTA, DISTRICT PATNA. ---------------------------------- 2 19/09/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. According to the petitioner, vide notification or order dated 17.03.2010 contained in Memo no. 908, annexure-5, name of the petitioner figured in the said notification at serial no. 12 by virtue of which benefit of 1st and 2nd A.C.P. was granted. Petitioner is stated to be a retired Panchayat Sewak who superannuated in the year 2003. Reason for his filing this writ application is that despite a year and a half have gone past since annexure-5 was issued, the benefits in terms of pay scale and the revision of pension - 2 - etc. have not been made. Petitioner has filed application before the Block Development Officer, Bihta in this regard. His inaction on this count has led the petitioner to approach the High Court. This Court fails to understand as to why the benefit is not accruing to the petitioner because notification contained in annexure-5 is an authentic notification in this regard. There being a limited prayer made in the writ application, no adjudication as such is required. This writ application can be disposed of with a direction upon the Block Development Officer, Bihta in the district of Patna that taking cognizance of application of the petitioner contained in annexure-6 in the background of the notification contained in annexure-5, he must take steps to ensure that pay scale of the petitioner is revised and necessary recommendation as a fall out for the revision of his pension etc. including the benefit arising from the award of 1st and 2nd A.C.P. is extended to the petitioner preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt/communication of a copy of this order. - 3 - This writ application is disposed of with the direction aforesaid.
