IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9556 of 2008 HARISCHANDRA THAKUR, S/O LATE PULKIT THAKUR, AJIT ROAD, NEAR PANI TANKI, MITHAPUR, PATNA, BIHAR. …………PETITIONER. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2. THE JOINT SECRETARY-CUM-DIRECTOR, HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT (HIGHER EDUCATION) DEPARTMENT, GOVT. OF BIHAR, VIKASH BHAWAN, NEW SECRETARIATE, BIHAR, PATNA. 3. THE SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, BIHAR, PATNA. 4. THE SECRETARY, DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE, BIHAR, PATNA. 5. THE VICE-CHANCELLOR, PATNA UNIVERSITY, PATNA. 6. THE REGISTRAR, PATNA UNIVERSITY, PATNA. 7. THE ACCOUNTANT GENERAL, BIHAR, BIRCHAND PATEL PATH, PATNA. …………RESPONDENTS. ----------- 3 28.07.2011 The prayer of the petitioner is for a direction to the respondents to fix his pay scale in the scale of Rs.5000-8000 with effect from 01.01.1996 and pay the differences of salary accordingly and the consequential revision of his pension. Learned counsel for the petitioner points out that the petitioner has already filed a representation before the authorities of the University as well as the Government long back. However, the same has not been considered as yet. This Court considers it appropriate that the authority which has the powers to grant the revise pay scale or denying the same should pass a 2 reasoned order first for being tested by this Court, if necessary. This the respondents should have done on the representation of the petitioner itself. However, since no final orders have been passed, this Court disposes of the writ application with liberty to the petitioner to file a fresh representation in respect of his pay scale and other grievances before the Vice-Chancellor of the University within four weeks from today. If such a representation is filed, Mr.Sinha appearing for the University assures this Court that the same shall be considered and appropriate speaking orders in accordance with law shall be passed on the same within three months from the date of filing of the representation. He also assures that, if the matter requires reference to the Pay Fixation Committee/competent body, the same shall also be done and final decision shall be taken in the matter within the time allowed by this Court.
