THE EXECUTIVE ENGINEER , NATIONAL HIGHWAY DIVISION LAKHISARAI AT MUNGER ----------- 2. 12.11.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. The claim in this writ application is for regularisation and payment of salary for the period 1.3.1996 to 20.7.2001. The contention is that during this period in pursuance of his transfer and posting for no fault of the petitioner he has had to suffer and for which purpose reliance is placed on recital of facts contained in the letter of the Executive Engineer, Munger dated 9.9.2004 reiterated in the letter of the Executive Engineer, Munger dated 10.8.2009 recommending grant of regularisation and salary for the aforesaid period. In so far as the claim for grant of time bound promotion is concerned strong reliance is placed on Annexure 8 dated 10.8.2007 issued by the Executive Engineer recommending his eligibility for the same. The petitioner is stated to have superannuated on 31.12.2008. Let the claim of the petitioner on both counts be considered and disposed of by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order before respondents 3 & 4. In the event that the respondents propose to deny the benefits or either of the benefits they shall be obliged to properly discuss the letters of the Department as discussed above making recommendation in favour of the petitioner and then pass a reasoned and speaking order for differing with the same along with the materials on basis of which they propose to differ so that judicial review of their order if necessary be facilitated. The writ application stands disposed off. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
