Patna High Court MJC No.1367 of 2011 (3) dt.19-10-2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Miscellaneous Jurisdiction Case No.1367 of 2011 ====================================================== Mohammad Jahagir Ansari .... .... Petitioner/s Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors. .... .... Respondent/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Gopal Govind Mishra For the Respondent/s : Mr. Jaishankar Barnwal Sc1 ====================================================== 3 19-10-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The Writ Court noticed that the petitioner had been granted time bound promotion by taking into consideration the period of service in the erstwhile Corporation but the same was not being taken into consideration for purposes of A.C.P. though they were both anti stagnation measures. Directions were given to consider grant of A.C.P. Learned counsel for the opposite parties from the scheme for grant of A.C.P. dated 25.6.2003 submit by reference to Clause-4(iii) that the scheme itself provided that the period of service spent in the erstwhile Corporation was not to be reckoned for A.C.P. A.C.P. Rules were not challenged by the petitioner in the writ application. Learned counsel for the petitioner next submits that in C.W.J.C. No.5601/10 a similar question fell for consideration by the Court when certain fresh orders in this regard passed on 1.12.2010 making a clarification for grant of A.C.P. also fell for consideration. Patna High Court MJC No.1367 of 2011 (3) dt.19-10-2011 The Court is satisfied that no proceedings in contempt shall lie. However, it is considered prudent to direct that the respondents are expected to act reasonably and responsibly by examining any representation of the petitioner submitted by placing reliance on the orders in C.W.J.C. No.5601/10 so that not only is the litigation shortened, but the grievances of the employee are also expeditiously considered in accordance with law. It is expected that the respondents shall do so within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The contempt proceedings stand disposed.
