Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR through the Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Bihar, Patna. 2. Shri Narsingh Upadhyay, son of name not named, the Registrar, Co- operative Societies, Bihar, Patna. 3. The Bihar State Co-operative Land Development Bank Limited, Patna through its Chairman. 4. Sri Vijay Kumar Singh, son of Sri Mohan Singh, Chairman, Bihar State Cooperative Land Development Bank Limited, Budh Marg, Patna. 5. Padip Kumar Sinha, Managing Director, Bihar State Co-operative Land Development Bank Limited, Budh Marg, Patna. ----------- 03. 3.3.2010 Based on the direction issued by this Court on 17.9.2008 contained in annexure-1, an office order dated 29.12.2008 contained in annexure-3 to the contempt application has been passed. This is the order passed by the Managing Director (Opposite party No.5). They do not deny that employee is entitled to second time-bound promotion on completion of 25 years but their stand is that they have not implemented such a decision and not granted benefit to any employee keeping in mind the precarious financial position of the bank. To that extent opposite parties have not discriminated against any person. One example which has been given by the petitioner has been explained in the show cause filed on behalf of the bank in para-5. The Bank however has categorically stated in the said order that as an when financial position will improve and other employees are granted this benefit, petitioner shall also get 2 the benefit but no time frame is stated. In view of the stated position, the claim or right of the petitioner survives but its enforcement is postponed in the above stated circumstances. No case for contempt is made out but opposite parties are well advised to keep the petitioner’s grievance in mind as and when benefit starts accruing. The contempt application is dismissed. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J )
