THE DEPUTY SECRETARY, HOME DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF JHARKHAND, NEPAL HOUSE, RANCHI ----------- 02. 02.11.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner was appointed as Sergeant in the Police in January, 1970 and promoted in April, 1982 as a Sergeant Major followed by promotion to the rank of Dy. S.P. in November, 1999, after superannuation on 31.7.2009. The contention of the petitioner is to be considered for grant of second A.C.P. in the Scale of Rs. 10,000-15200/- wrongly granted to him in the Scale of Rs. 7500-11200/-. Specific assertion has been made in paragraph-15 of the writ application that his 2 juniors have been granted the benefit of second A.C.P. in the former scale. The counter affidavit of the respondents explicitly states in more than one paragraph that the claims of the petitioner are under consideration. Let the respondent no.-2 consider and decide the claim of the petitioner by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of two months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Needless to state that, if the respondents find justification in the claim or any part of the claim, necessary consequential orders shall be issued within the same period. The application stands disposed. P.K. ( Navin Sinha, J.)
