IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6420 of 2009 RATISH SINGH THAKUR Versus THE UNION OF INDIA & ORS ----------- 2 20/5/2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner, counsel for the Union of India and counsel for the State of Jharkhand. Counsel for the State of Bihar is not present. This Court would find that in terms of the provisions in Bihar Reorganisation Act whatever decision has been taken by the Government of India in respect of the cadre allocation of the petitioner as contained in Annexures 10 and 12 to the writ application has to be complied by the Government of Bihar and Government of Jharkhand. In the event the Government of Bihar/Jharkhan had found any reason to dispute the decision of the Government of India, it was open for them to seek review of such decision, but for that also the case of the petitioner could not have been kept pending for an indefinite period. Since Government of India has already passed order for allocating the petitioner the cadre of the State of Jharkhand, the two Government, i.e, the Government of Bihar in consultation with Government of Jharkhand are under obligation to take consequential steps and issue necessary orders in accordance with the decision of the Government of India. 2 In that view of the matter, this Court would direct the Government of Bihar to take a final decision within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With the aforementioned observations/directions this application is disposed of. Abhay Kumar (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
