IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15318 of 2009 1. CHANDRA BHUSHAN THAKUR S/O LATE JAGDISH THAKUR VILL JALLEY, P.O. +P.S.- JALLEY, DISTT- DARBHANGA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE SECRETARY, ART, CULTURE, AND YOUTH DEPARTMENT VIKAS BHAWAN , PATNA 2. THE SECRETARY, ART, CULTURE AND YOUTH DEPARTMENT VIKASH BHAWAN, PATNA 3. THE DIRECTOR (YOUTH SERVICES) ART, CULTURE AND YOUTH DEPARTMENT VIKASH BHAWAN , PATNA 4. THE DISTRICT EDUCATION OFFICER, DARBHANGA 5. THE ACCOUNTANT GENERAL BIHAR, PATNA ----------- 2. 01.12.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, for the State and for the Accountant General. The petitioner, who superannuated on 31.7.2001, claims that he was granted first time bound promotion by order dated 24.4.1990 with effect from 1.4.1981. The grievance is that notwithstanding the order neither was monetary benefit made available nor pay scale revised. Additional prayer is for grant of second time bound promotion and A.C.P. benefit along with re- fixation of pay scale and revision of pension. Learned counsel for the State from the order granting first time bound promotion submits that it was conditional of his passing the departmental examination and there is no pleading in the writ application that the petitioner fulfils this requirement. This court finds it difficult to adjudicate the matter in its present form and no useful purpose shall be served by keeping the application pending requiring the petitioner to supplement his pleadings and thereafter asking for a counter affidavit. Liberty is granted to the petitioner to file an 2 appropriate representation in support of his claim, inter alia, with regard to non-requirement of passing the departmental examination and that promotion had allegedly been granted to others who had also not passed the departmental examination, as was presently urged, which is then required to be decided by the Respondents by a reasoned and speaking order dealing with all issues raised by the petitioner preferably within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt and/or presentation of a copy of this order. The application stands disposed. AKS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
