IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.7330 of 2001 RAMA NAND JHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3/ 16/9/2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The claim in the writ application is for arrears of salary between the period 17.6.1989 to 2.11.1997 in light of the time bound promotion granted to the petitioner vide Memo No.4 dated 1.1.1998. Paragraphs-16 and 17 of the counter affidavit do not dispute the eligibility of the petitioner for grant of time bound promotion and neither is the order of promotion sought to be assailed. All that is urged is that it was provisional and confirmation is awaited. The position remains the same ten years later. Persons granted time bound promotion along with the petitioner by the order dated 1.1.1998 likewise came to this Court when the monetary benefit was not being made available to them also. Learned counsel for the State fairly submits that the claim of the petitioners is - 2 - fully covered by the order of this Court in C.W.J.C. No.13979/01, disposed on 4.1.2002 in which the only stand taken on behalf of the State was paucity of funds for non-payment of the difference of the salary. In light of the aforesaid discussion, the writ application is disposed with direction to the respondents to pay the arrears of salary of the petitioner consequent to grant all time bound promotions from the due date within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order.
