IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12703 of 2011 Nawal Kishor Prasad Singh, son of late Raj Kumar Prasad Singh, resident of Mohalla - New Bigrahpur, P.S. Jakkanpur, Distt. Patna Versus 1. The State Of Bihar. 2. The Principal Secretary, Water Resources Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 3. The Joint Secretary (Management), Water Resources Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 4. The Chief Engineer, Water Resources Department at Darbhanga. ----------- 02. 28.9.2011 The reason for filing the present writ application on behalf of the petitioner is non-grant of benefit of ACP right till date. Petitioner is supposed to have superannuated from the post of Assistant Engineer on 30.6.2008 and he has approached the Joint Secretary (Management), under Water Resources Department, Government of Bihar as would be evident from Ananexure-1 as well as Anneuxre-3. Since the respondent has not responded to his request, writ has been filed. Since it is a question of verification of record and eligibility of the petitioner keeping in mind the length of his service etc. the respondents would be well advised to look into the matter and take a decision . Writ is disposed of with a direction upon the Joint Secretary concerned (respondent No.3) that on filing of a copy of this order by the petitioner, he shall ensure that the step is taken with regard to grant of benefit of ACP within a period of three months. It goes without saying that if petitioner’s entitlement 2 is found the authorization in this regard would be issued within the same time frame or a speaking order for rejection, if petitioner is not found entitled, will be communicated to him within the same time. Writ is disposed of with above direction. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
