IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.947 of 2008 AMRESH KUMAR SINHA . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 2/ 14/12/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The twin reliefs sought in this writ application are for grant of monetary benefits from the date of grant of 1st time bound promotion and secondly for grant of second A.C.P. with effect from 1.3.1981 being the date when he was brought into the regular establishment. The petitioner has been granted 1st time bound promotion by order dated 28.7.1990 with effect from 3.12.1983, but has been given monetary benefits with effect from 27.3.1987. Time bound promotion is not a substantive promotion, but is only the grant of certain monetary benefits in the same scale. Therefore, this Court finds no merit in the objection on behalf of the respondents that the claim was belated arising from a cause of action in 1990. The respondents should have themselves granted him full monetary benefits from the due date. This Court, therefore, directs that the petitioner is entitled to the benefit of the orders of the difference of salary for time bound promotion in between the period 3.12.1983 to 27.3.1987. Let the same be paid within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order before the concerned respondent. From the counter affidavit of the respondents it is apparent that ultimately the petitioner was absorbed as a correspondence clerk from the work charged establishment into the regular establishment with effect from 1.3.1981. Let the respondents now consider his claim for grant of second A.C.P. on that basis when presently he has been granted the said benefit with effect from 2006. Let such consideration be done and appropriate orders inclusive of monetary benefits, if any, be complied within the same period as mentioned above. The writ application stands disposed.
