IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2391 of 2009 PARMANAND SINGH Versus THE PATNA MUNICIPAL CORPN.&ORS ----------- 2 20/2/2009 Heard counsel for the parties. In the opinion of this Court the prayer made by the petitioner for regularization of his service as Tax Collector in Patna Municipal Corporation is wholly misconceived. The regularization cannot be the mode of appointment. If the petitioner qualifies for the same he will be considered along with other candidates. Submission of counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has been asked to work on the post of Tax Collector for a long period and therefore he is entitled for the pay scale of Tax Collector is wholly misconceived. Under the service jurisprudence as also under Rule 103 of the Bihar Service Rule a person holding higher post is at best entitled for 20% of pay. Therefore, if the petitioner confines himself within the provision of Rule 103 of the Rules, he is at liberty to represent his case for getting additional pay for the work done as Tax Collector. 2 The Patna Municipal Corporation is also at liberty to dispense with the job of Tax Collector of the petitioner if the petitioner is not willing to work on that post. With the aforementioned observation this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.) Abhay Kumar
