IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2599 of 2010 MADHU SUDAN SINGH, S/O- LATE DEO KUMAR SINGH, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE- RAMGARHA, POLICE STATION- DARAUDA, DISTRICT- SIWAN :---PETITIONER. Versus 1. SRI ANUP MUKHARJEE, THE CHIEF SECRETARY BIHAR, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA. 2. SRI B.K. JHA, THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY, AGRICULTURE GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR. 3. SRI B. RAJENDRA, THE DIRECTOR, DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA. 4. SRI SHANKAR KUMAR CHAUDHARY, THE JOINT DIRECTOR, AGRICULTURE, DARBHANGA DIVISION, DISTRICT- DARBHANGA. 5. DR. RAVINDRA SINGH, THE SUB- DIVISIONAL AGRICULTURE OFFICER, DALSINGHSARAI, DISTRICT- SAMASTIPUR :---OPPOSITE PARTIES. ----------- 6. 21.06.2011. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. 2. In compliance of the order of the High Court dated 02.09.2009, passed in C.W.J.C.No. 11279 of 2009, Annexure-1 the Joint Director, Agriculture, Darbhanga Division, Darbhanga considered the case of the petitioner for grant of time bound promotion/A.C.P. benefit and rejected the same under order dated 29th April, 2011, Annexure- H observing that petitioner having been regularized under orders dated 16.03.2010 is not entitled for such benefit. From the said order itself it appears that M/S Madan Thakur and Jabir Hussain were allowed those benefits as there were orders to that 2 effect by the High Court. It goes without saying that if M/S Madan Thakur and Jabir Hussain were not regularized, they could not have been allowed any such benefit notwithstanding the order of the High Court, as such, in my opinion the authorities should be well advised to take steps for recovery of the monetary benefits granted to the aforesaid two persons in lieu of time bound promotion/A.C.P. Scheme. Such steps for recovery be taken within a time frame not exceeding three months. 3. The contempt application is, accordingly, disposed of. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
