The Sub-Divisional Officer Public Health Engineering Department, Jhanjharpur, Distt.- Madhubani ---------------------------------- 2. 02.12.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The relief sought in the application is primarily with regard to a claim that the petitioner is entitled to the benefits of the old pension scheme and consequent G.P.F. deduction. In the facts of the case, the mere absorption done on 1.12.2006 does not make him an appointee after the introduction of the Contributory Pension Scheme in 2005. Counsel for the parties are agreed that the issues for consideration are fully covered by a judgment of this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 6183 of 2008 (Sheo Kumar Shukla Vs. The State of Bihar & Ors.) and analogous cases disposed on 18.3.2009 stated 2 to have been affirmed in L.P.A. and by the Supreme Court also. The claim for any arrears of salary between the periods March, 2005 to November, 2006 may also be pursued in light of the observations contained in the case of Sheo Kumar Shukla (supra) in that regard. The writ application stands disposed in similar terms as C.W.J.C. No. 6183 of 2008. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
