IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12276 of 2009 Chandra Shekhar Prasad Rajak son of Late Gopi Ram. Presently posted as Junior Engineer, Building Construction Department having his permanent address at village and Post Kadiraganj, Police Station- Nawadah, District Nawadah-805104 Versus 1. The State Of Bihar through its Principal Secretary, Road Construction Department, Vishweshwaraya Bhawan, Bailey Road, Bihar, Patna 2. Principal Secretary, Road Construction Department, Vishweshwaraya Bhawan, Bailey Road, Bihar, Patna 3. Engineer-in-Chief-cum Additional Commissioner-cum Special Secretary, Road Construction Department, Vishweshwaraya Bhawan, Bailey Road, Bihar, Patna 4. Deputy Secretary, Road Construction Department, Patna Secretariat, Patna ----------- 02/ 15.09.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. 2. Petitioner is a Junior Engineer. He is aggrieved by the reasoned order, bearing Letter No. 3034(E) dated 18.8.2009, Annexure-27 to this application, passed by the Engineer-in- Chief-cum Additional Commissioner- cum- Special Secretary of the Road Construction Department, Patna, whereunder the prayer of the petitioner to grant him seniority for the services rendered in the P.R.D.A. has been rejected on the ground that he has been appointed in the Road Construction Department of the State Government with effect from 30.9.1995 pursuant to an advertisement issued by the department through the Bihar Public Service Commission and he is entitled to seniority in the department with effect from 30.9.2005 the date of his appointment in the department and not with effect from the date of his appointment in the P.R.D.A., which is a Statutory 2 Authority constituted under the Regional Development Authority Act, 1981. 3. Counsel for the petitioner assails the reasoned order on the ground that on earlier occasion, the competent authority has allowed the petitioner the benefit of seniority taking the services rendered in the P.R.D.A. with effect from the date of his appointment in the P.R.D.A., vide order dated 26.11.1990 and the matter having become final. At this belated stage, the impugned reasoned order dated 18.8.2009, Annexure- 27 to review the seniority position of the petitioner ought not to have been passed and the State Government should be stopped from passing such order. 4. Aforesaid submissions made on behalf of the petitioner have been noted only with a view to reject the same as grant of seniority on the basis of the service rendered in a foreign organization is something, which is unknown to the service jurisprudence and the wrong committed earlier with regard to the seniority position of the petitioner, the authorities are always at liberty to correct the same so as to ensure justice to those who suffered at the instance of the petitioner. 5. I do not see any illegality in the impugned reasoned order dated 18.8.2009, Annexure-27. This writ application is, accordingly, dismissed. Arjun/ ( V.N. Sinha, J.)
