IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Miscellaneous Jurisdiction Case No.1284 of 2009 Keshav Prasad Singh, son of late Ram Jula Singh, resident of village Mathia Gurudas, P.S. Buxar Mufassil, District Buxar at present posted and working as Headmaster In-charge in Jail High School in Khudi Ram Bose Central Jail, Muzaffarpur … Petitioner Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. Sri S. Sheo Shanker, the Inspector General of Prison, Bihar, Patna 3. Sri Surendra Kumar Ambastha, the Director Probation Services, Bihar, Patna 4. Sri Rupak Kumar, the Superintendent, Khudi Ram Bose Central Jail, Muzaffarpur P.S. and District Muzaffarpur … Opp.Parties ---------------------------------- 5. 15.9.2011 Having heard counsel for the parties and taking into account that pursuant to the order of this Court dated 13.7.2011 and 27.7.2011 an order of promotion of the petitioner has been issued on 19.8.2011 promoting him on the post of Headmaster with effect from 20.5.1997, this contempt application must be held to have become infructuous. The further grievance of the petitioner as highlighted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that there is no indication of grant of consequential benefit in the order of promotion dated 19.8.2011 needs to be now looked into by the Inspector General of Prison, inasmuch as such consequential benefit should have been granted to the petitioner in view of the admitted fact of his being eligible for such promotion from 20.5.1997. The petitioner, therefore, may file a representation for grant of consequential benefit and this Court would expect that the Inspector General of Prison keeping in view the facts and circumstances mentioned above will take an appropriate decision as with regard to grant of consequential benefit strictly in accordance with law. 2 With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of.
