IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.3956 of 2010 Bhubneshwar Sinha, son of late Bishwanath Sinha, Resident of Village and P.O. Jagdishpur Bagh Nagari, Via- Silout, P.S. Sakra, District Muzaffarpur. -------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. Sri M.S. Raju, son of not known to the petitioner, Presently posted as the Commissioner, Tirhut Division, Muzaffarpur. 3. Sri Anand Kishore, son of not known to the petitioner, presently posted as District Collector, Muzaffarpur, District Muzaffarpur. ---------- Opp. Parties ----------- 3 24.11.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and counsel for the opposite parties. While this Court is satisfied that there would be no contempt in view of the order passed by the Collector, Muzaffarpur dated 6.11.2010 disposing of the representation of the petitioner by granting him promotion in the Super Time Pay Scale with effect from 1.1.1994 being the same date of his junior Sashi Ranjan Prasad Siha, there appears to be some sort of justification in the grievance of the petitioner that for the same promotion in the Super Time Pay Scale, while the petitioner has been given the pay scale of Rs. 1500-2750 whereas, the aforesaid Sashi Ranjan Prasad Sinha was given the pay 2 scale of Rs. 1600-2780 as is evident from a copy of the order dated 23.9.2002. This Court, therefore, would give liberty to the petitioner to approach the Collector, Muzaffarpur for this limited grievance as with regard to grant of pay scale in the Super Time Pay Scale and if it is found that either due to clerical error or inadvertence, the petitioner was given the pay scale of Rs. 1500-2750 in place of Rs. 1600-2750 as given to Sashi Ranjan Prasad Siha, the Collector of Muzaffarpur district will do the needful by making necessary correction. If, however, for any other valid reason, he would find the petitioner not entitled for grant of such pay scale, he must give reasons for the same and, thereafter, the petitioner will have liberty to assail such order in accordance with law. With the aforementioned observations and direction, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
