IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2059 of 2008 DIGAMBAR JHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR &ORS ----------- 02/ 22/02/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State as also for the Accountant General. The petitioner was promoted from the post of Assistant Director, Information and Public Relations Department (Publication), Government of Bihar, to the post of Deputy Director on 24.8.1982 initially ad hoc for a period of six months which was extended. The petitioner continued to work by virtue of extensions on the post of Deputy Director and retired from that post on 31.7.1983. Learned counsel for the State has produced before this Court copies of orders dated 22.5.2008 and 23.6.2008 deeming the petitioner to have been retired from the post of Deputy Director giving directions for re-fixation of his pension with effect from 1.1.1996 as having retired from the post of Deputy Director. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the grievance still remains for non-payment of the salary of the Deputy Director in between 24.8.1982 and 31.7.1983 and the grant of commensurate pension on that basis for the period. Let the petitioner represent for the same when the objection on behalf of the State that the post of Assistant Director and Deputy Director were merged on 7.9.1981 in a common pay-scale are matters which shall be appropriately considered and the representation disposed of by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production thereof. Let the communications dated 22.5.2008 and 23.6.2008 referred to above be kept on record. The writ application stands disposed. KC/ ( Navin Sinha, J.)
