Divisional Manager, Bihar State Road Transport Corporation, Muzaffarpur Division, District – Muzaffarpur …Respondents ----------- 03. 03.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the Respondent-Bihar State Road Transport Corporation (for short ‘the Corporation’). Petitioner has approached this Court seeking a direction upon the authorities of the Corporation to grant him time-bound promotion. He has also called in question the sustainability of the order dated 9.5.2007 (Annexure-1) negating his claim based on a resolution of the Corporation dated 5.5.2004. It is the case of the petitioner that he is entitled to time-bound promotion with effect from 12.9.1983 since junior employees in the Corporation have been considered and granted the 1st time-bound promotion by different office orders. They were also granted second time-bound promotion on completion of 25 years of service. Learned counsel for the petitioner, relying on the office order no. 522 dated 31.10.2007 (Annexure-10), submits that aforesaid circular/order of the Corporation dated 5.5.2004 2 has been annulled/cancelled by the aforesaid order and the employees of the corporation have been made entitled to grant of benefits of time-bound promotion(s) as provided by 5th Pay Revision Committee. Learned counsel has also relied on order dated 23.8.2011 (Annexure-11) in order to submit that several employees have thereafter been granted time-bound promotion. Both the parties agree that in the light of Annexure- 10 and the order contained in Annexure-11, the petitioner may be granted liberty to file a fresh representation and the authorities of the Corporation, in turn, be commanded to consider and dispose of the said representation in accordance with law within a particular time-frame. Appreciating the stand taken by the parties, this Court is satisfied that present application be disposed of by the following order:- Let the petitioner approach the Administrator of the Corporation (respondent no.2) detailing his grievance(s) in the light of the orders contained in Annexures-10 and 11 within four weeks from today together with a copy of the present order whereafter the said respondent shall consider and dispose of the representation in accordance with law by a reasoned order within five weeks of its filing/presentation. hr ( Kishore K.
