IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6891 of 1996 Hari Narayan Prasad Verma, S/o Late Jagdip Narain Shrivastawa, resident of Vijaynagar, Rukunpwa, P.S. Danapur, Dist. Patna, formerly working as Librarian, Animal Husbandry Directorate, Bihar, Patna. -------- Petitioner Versus 1. State of Bihar. 2. The Secretary-cum-Commissioner, Finance Department, Old Secretariat, Bihar, Patna. 3. The Secretary to Government, Animal Husbandry Department, Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna. 4. The Director, Animal Husbandry Department, Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna. -------- Respondents ----------- 4 20.5.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application, being confined to the following relief:- “1(a) Directing the respondent Authorities 2, to pay the difference of pay-scale to the petitioner according to the recommendation of pay Anomaly Removal Committee Report of 1985 and also in view of an office order of Finance Department dated 24.8.96 for granting requisite corresponding pay-scale. (b) To consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner by the concerned authorities i.e., respondent no.2, in view of the order passed by this Hon’ble Court in C.W.J.C. No. 5314 of 1991 on 2.2.1994. 2 (c) To direct the concerned authority to calculate the pensionary benefits of the petitioner in accordance with the pay-scale he is entitled to, after removing the anomaly. (d) To declare the order dated 26.6.1994 passed under the signature of the Secretary, Animal Husbandry and Fishery Department, Bihar, Patna as non-est in view of the direction given by this Hon’ble Court in C.W.J.C. No. 5314 of 1991.” and the specific averments of the respondent in the counter affidavit that the petitioner was paid his salary as recommended by the Pay Anomaly Removal Committee, this Court would not find any merit in this application as with regard to the relief of implementation of the report of the Pay Anomaly Removal Committee. The Pay Anomaly Removal Committee had recommended the petitioner’s pay-scale of Rs. 785-1210/- by way of special consideration though the petitioner did not possesses the requisite qualification and, therefore, in the next Pay Revision Committee, the petitioner will be only entitled for replacement of pay-scale of Rs. 3 785-1210/- and nothing more. Considering all these aspects, this Court would not find any error in the impugned order passed by the authority in compliance of the earlier direction of this Court. The petitioner has since retired, he should now remain content with the payment already made to him, inasmuch as, the same was strictly in accordance with law. That being so, this application is wholly misconceived and the same is accordingly dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
