The petitioner seeks a direction to the appropriate authority to implement the benefits of Assured Career Progression scheme with respect to the members of the petitioner organization. The respondents have placed on record their counter affidavit and have also annexed thereto certain relevant documents. However, learned government counsel raises a preliminary objection as to the maintainability of this writ petition at the instance of the petitioner organization. In his submission, the petitioner organization is not registered, and service conditions are entirely personal to an employee and, therefore, only the adversely affected employee alone can prefer writ petition. - 2 - 2. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. The matter has remained pending in this Court for nearly four years. We, therefore, do not wish to consider the preliminary objection raised by learned counsel for the respondents. There is no material on record to suggest that the Panchayat Sewaks of the district of Nalanda whose cause the petitioner is supposed to represent, have made efforts before the concerned authorities or not to obtain the benefits as prayed for. In that view of the matter, this writ petition is disposed of with the liberty to the adversely affected Panchayat Sewaks to approach respondent no.5 with their respective representations who shall dispose of the same expeditiously. This Court will be pleased if the entire process is completed within a period of four week of the date of submission of their respective representations. 3. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. ( S K Katriar ) mrl
