IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.15280 of 2011 ====================================================== Om Prakash Chaudhary S/O Late Narayan Chaudhary R/O Village & Post - Goreakothi, P.S.- Goreakothi, District - Siwan .... .... Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar through the Secretary, Animal Husbandry Department, Bihar, Patna 2. The Director, Animal Husbandry Department, Bihar, Patna 3. The Regional Director, Animal Husbandry Department, Bahuria Kothi, Chapra, Saran 4. The District Animal Husbandry Officer, Siwan 5. The Accountant General, Bihar, Patna .... .... Respondents ====================================================== 2 24-10-2011 Petitioner is a retired Class IV employee. He was holding post of Chaprasi in the office of respondent no. 4 (the District Animal Husbandry Officer, Siwan) and was posted at Gorakothi, Siwan. The respondent-authorities have granted the benefit of Ist and 2nd A.C.P to 22 employees of the Department in terms of the notification dated 13th of April, 2011, contained in Annexure 3. Name of the petitioner figures at Serial No. 20. But despite this notification having been made in April, 2011, the revision in pay scale as well as pension has not been worked out and, therefore, the present writ application. It is evident from Annexures 4 and 5 that petitioner has also approached senior authorities to do the needful but since nothing was done, a writ petition has been filed seeking mandamus. From perusal of Annexure 3, the notification, there is no doubt about the entitlement of the petitioner with regard to benefit of A.C.P. Except for bureaucratic apathy and red tape there does not seem to be any reason as to why the benefit arising from the said notification would not accrue to the petitioner in so many months. Since there is no disputed question of fact or law, writ application is disposed off with a direction upon the respondent no. 3 that taking cognizance of the notification contained in Annexure 3 and the claim made by the petitioner in terms of Annexure 4, he shall do what is required to be done for revision of pay as well as recommendation for revision of pension within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy of this order. Writ is disposed of with the above direction. Bhardwaj/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J)
