THE SUPERINTENDING ENGINEER, IRRIGATION DESIGN CIRCLE AT PURNEA. 4. THE EXECUTIVE ENGINEER, DESIGN DIVISION, IRRIGATION AT PURNEA. 5. DIVISIONAL ACCOUNTS OFFICER, POSTED IN THE OFFICE OF THE EXECUTIVE ENGINEER, IRRIGATION DESIGN DIVISION AT PURNEA. ……………RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2 08.11.2010 Issue was grant of benefit of first and second time bound promotion to the petitioner. Benefit had been granted but it came to be undone by subsequent decision contained in Anexure-5. After re-examination another decision contained in Annexure-6 dated 16.06.2004 came to be issued. But that was subject to approval by the competent authority. Now Annexure-7 has been issued at the level of the commissioner which is dated 15th July 2004 vide letter no.996. Petitioner is a retired 2 accounts clerk who had been given benefit of first time bound promotion with effect from 01-4-1981 and the second from 10-11-1987. The contention of the counsel is that the monetary benefit has not accrued despite the decision having been taken as above. No counter affidavit till date has been filed in the matter. In that view the writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the Chief Engineer, Irrigation, Purnia that he shall ensure that the benefits arising from the notifications contained in Annexures-6 and 7 accrues, preferably within four months if it has not been done and the petitioner has not been paid the benefits. Writ application is disposed of for strict compliance since long time has elapsed since the issue was raised. PN (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
