IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8432 of 2002 SURESH @ SURESH PRASAD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ANR ----------- 7 23.3.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned Counsel for the Respondent-Corporation. The claim in the writ application is two fold; one for dearness allowance and other for salary for the post of Supervisor. The Counter affidavit in paragraph 6 states that the dearness allowance has been paid from the period 1.7.1991 to 30.11.1999. Counsel for the petitioner does not dispute the position. In so far as the salary for the post of Supervisor is concerned, the counter affidavit states that orders for posting as such was issued by an Officer incompetent to do so. Petitioner has retired on 30..9.2003. His posting for Supervisor is contrary to law. This Court finds it difficult to grant him salary on the said post. Claim to that extent is rejected. Writ application stands allowed in part only. A.Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
