IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4554 of 2009 VIRENDRA KUMAR & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 13.4.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. The petitioners are stated to be employees of the erstwhile Bihar State Agricultural Marketing Board which is stated to have been dissolved. A policy decision is stated to have been taken by the State Government for their absorption in government service for adjustment in certain other departments. Matters of absorption and adjustment of personnel of dissolved government body are matters of policy. Once a policy decision has been taken, the authorities are required to abide by the policy decision till such time, that the policy decision be cancelled or rescinded. Adjustment and /or modification in implementation of the policy decision required, is the domain of the Administrator so long as the policy remains. In the present case, it is not the case of the respondents that the policy decision for adjustment /absorption has been rescinded. This court can only refer to the judgment of the Supreme Court in AIR 1988 SC 78(P.K.Chinnaswamy vs. Government of Tamil Nadu & others) that it is bounded duty of the State to allot commensurate posting to a government servant and pay his salary. Since a Bench of this court in CWJC no. 6997 of 2008 has already granted four weeks’ time in a similar matter, this court in - 2 - order to maintain consistency in the orders of this court directs the respondents to act in accordance with the judgment of the Supreme Court in a maximum period of four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The application stands disposed of. Let a certified copy of the order be supplied to the learned counsel for the State on urgent basis on payment of necessary charges. shahid (Navin Sinha, J)
