IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.17725 of 2008 GANGADHAR SINGH . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2. 30.8.2010 Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he desires to file a representation with regard to re-fixation of the pay scale after his superannuation which is having adverse consequence upon him after his retirement. It is submitted that the impugned order dated 15.2.2008 is ex parte in nature. The filing of a representation and the issuance of a show cause notice are different matters. A representation is based on the perceived understanding of the petitioner. A show cause notice has the advantage of letting the petitioner know the case he has to meet. On order to shorten the litigative environment the respondents are directed to serve a show cause notice upon the petitioner of the grounds on which they have passed the order dated 15.2.2008 inclusive of documents, if any, within a period of two weeks from the date that he presents a copy of the present order before them. Let him file his reply to the same within 2 such reasonable time that the respondents may grant, whereafter the matter may be disposed off by a reasoned and speaking order preferably within a maximum period of one month from the date that the petitioner submits his reply to the show cause notice. The issue of retirement benefits not being the subject matter of this Bench, the remedies of the petitioner with regard to the same obviously has to be before the appropriate Bench according to roster in a proper application. The application stands disposed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
