IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.498 of 2009 THE BIHAR STATE HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER CORPORATION, PATNA & ORS. Versus YOGESH KUMAR LABH & ANR ----------- 03/ 01-07-2009 Heard Mr. Pushkar Narain Shahi for the appellant, Mr. Sujit Kumar Sinha for respondent no. 1, and Mr. Balmeeki Pandey for respondent no. 2. The appellant is aggrieved by the order dated 5.2.2009, passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court, in C.W.J.C. No. 4381 of 2002. The appellant is Public Sector Undertaking of the Government of Bihar. The writ petitioner (respondent no. 1 herein) was earlier in the services of the Union of India, and had joined the appellant Corporation on 8.9.1983 as an Accountant on ‘’foreign service”. His name was struck off from the rolls of his previous employer on 8.9.1987. The writ petitioner continued to function with the appellant corporation and was formally absorbed on 13.10.1998 as Assistant Manager. He superannuated from the services of the appellant Corporation with effect from 31.01.2003. There was some dispute about the entitlement of the petitioner for the period 8.9.1983 to 8.9.1987, leading to the writ petition which has been allowed by the order dated 5.2.2009, whereby it has been held that the petitioner shall be entitled to all the benefits including retirement benefits from the appellant corporation with effect from 8.9.1987. In view of the discussion in the order in question, we entirely 2 agree with the same. The appellant corporation has burdened this Court with a most unwanted matters, and has most needlessly dragged a retired employee to this Court. The appeal is dismissed with costs quantified at Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand), payable to respondent no. 1, alongwith his other dues. S.Sb/- (S.K. Katriar, J.) (Jyoti Saran, J.)
