IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.369 of 2001 MAHAVIR SAH @ MAHAVIR PD.SAH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4/ 27/8/2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State and also for the Accountant General. The petitioner who retired from Animal Husbandry Department dated 31.10.1997 seeks the relief for grant of second time bound promotion and grant of annual increments. Originally the respondents sought to contest the claims, but now the supplementary counter affidavit specifically acknowledges that the petitioner is eligible to be considered for second time bound promotion and that steps for the same are being taken. It equally acknowledges that the petitioner has passed the departmental examination as is evident from Department letter No.1020 dated 24.7.1997 and instructions to that effect have already been issued on 3.5.2003. Notwithstanding all of the above, the financial benefits of such promotion and grant of increments still remains elusive for the petitioner. The only necessary order to be passed now is to direct the respondents to grant the actual monetary benefits of the second time bound promotion from the eligible date as also the increments from the due date within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The respondents are equally directed, apart from the payment of retrospective monetary benefits for the period in service, to also re-fix the pensionary and other retiral - 2 - dues of the petitioner and pay the same within the aforesaid period. If the petitioner has any remaining grievances, he shall be at liberty to file a representation for the same which shall be considered appropriately by the respondents in accordance with law within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands allowed. KC ( Navin Sinha,J )
