IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.17115 of 2010 RAMAWTAR RAM . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- For the Petitioner: Mr. Gyan Prakash Ojha, Advocate For the State : Mr. Rai Shivajee Nath, AAG IV ------- 2. 28.10.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. It is submitted that the petitioner is posted as Town Commissioner in the Muzaffarpur Municipal Corporation. That post has been upgraded as equivalent to that of Special Secretary in the pay band of Rs. 37,400 – 67,000/-. In fact, a total of 24 posts have been identified and upgraded to the rank of Special Secretary. There is thus no justification for the respondents to upgrade the petitioner on his post of Town Commissioner, Muzaffarpur Municipal Corporation, and he can well be assigned duties on any one of the 23 upgraded vacant posts of Special Secretary. In response to the query of the Court learned Counsel for the petitioner fairly acknowledges that it may require transfer of the petitioner from Muzaffarpur Municipal Corporation.. The rank, status and pay of the petitioner having been protected by order dated 24.8.2010 what the petitioner essentially seeks is the relief for a transfer. That is an issue to be deiced by the Administrator himself. If the petitioner is so advised he may represent which is required to be considered in accordance with law and disposed off expeditiously. The writ application stands disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
