PETITIONER VERSUS 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE DIRECTOR, AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE JOINT DIRECTOR, AGRICULTURE, PLANT PROTECTION, MITHAPUR FARM, PATNA 4. JUNIOR PLANT PROTECTION OFFICER, PURNEA ………………… RESPONDENTS ----------- 03. 12.05.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Prayer of the petitioner is for a direction to Respondents for grant of first time-bond-promotion with effect from 22.12.1981 and second time-bond- promotion with effect from 22.12.1996. Petitioner has also prayed for a direction to Respondents to grant him Graduate Scale of pay with effect from 01.01.1986 to 31.12.1995 as well as payment of all consequential benefits. From the Counter Affidavit, filed on behalf of Respondent Nos. 2, 3 and 4, it transpires that the petitioner was appointed on 22.12.1971 and the due date of first time-bond-promotion in his case would have been 22.12.1981 on completion of 10 years 2 regular service. Since the petitioner passed his Departmental Examination only on 07.10.1994, as such the benefit of time-bond-promotion became admissible in his case with effect from 08.10.1994. The date of second time-bond-promotion in case of petitioner would have been 22.12.1996, but the provision of grant of time-bond-promotion came to an end on 01.01.1996, vide Finance Department Resolution No. 660, dated 8th of February, 1999. Therefore, second time-bond-promotion would not have been given to the petitioner. The Counter Affidavit indicates that petitioner was given first time-bond-promotion with effect from 08.10.1994. First and second A.C.P. has already been granted to the petitioner vide letter dated 09.07.2005. So far the graduate scale is concerned, it has been stated in the Counter Affidavit that there is no such separate scale and the petitioner can not be allowed the same. Considering the fact that grievance of the petitioner has duly been redressed, this application is disposed of. SKM (Mridula Mishra, J.)
