IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15705 of 2004 Krishna Kumar Thakur, Son of late Chandradeo Thakur, Resident of Village Barka Chanda, P.S. Koilwar, District Bhojpur (Arrah) at present posted at ‘Barbar’ T.B. Hospital, Koilwar, District Bhojur (Arrah). ------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The State of Bihar through Commissioner and Secretary, Department of Health, Govt. of Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna. 3. The Director in Chief, Health Services, Deptt. of Health Govt. of Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna. 4. The District Magistrate, Bhojpur (Arrah). 5. The Health Superintendent, T.B. Hospital, Koilwar, P.S. Koilwar, District Bhojpur (Arrah). ---------- Respondents ----------- 3 06.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “1. That the present writ application is being filed for issuance of writ/writs, order/orders, direction /directions, commanding the respondents to consider the case of petitioner with regard to refixation of pay scale and thereafter payment of different amount, in amount of salary etc.” The aforementioned vague prayer even if sought to be explained by different statements made in this writ application would end up with regard to the grievance of the petitioner for claiming benefit of fixation in the revised pay-scale, wherein, 2 he has been given the pay-scale of Rs. 2550- 3200/- but his claim appears to be of Rs. 2610-3540/-. The petitioner has sought to make equation from other post of other department to claim that in view of the earlier pay-scale, the Pay Revision Committee ought to have fixed the pay in the grade of Rs. 2610 to 3540/- in place of 2550-3200/-. In the opinion of this Court, the expert job of fixation of pay in terms of the job assignment, qualification and other service condition cannot be made subject matter of review on a mere equivalence of the post or pay-scale. That being so, this Court would not find any merit in this application and the same is hereby dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
