The Patna Municipal Corporation through the Urban Commissioner, PMC, Patna 2. The Chief Executive Officer, PMC, Patna 3. The Deputy Chief Executive Officer, PMC, Patna 4. The Chief Accounts Officer, PMC, Patna ----------- For the appellant: Mr. R.S. Pradhan, Sr. Advocate For the Corporation, Mr. Chandrashekhar, Sr. Advocate Mr. Bishwa Bibhuti Kumar Singh, Advocate --- 2 7-4-2009 The case of the petitioner- appellant herein is that even though he has been working as Tax Collector since 26.11.1997 but neither he is being regularized against the vacant post of Tax Collector nor being paid salary of Tax Collector. Learned single judge while disposing of the writ petition vide order dated 20.2.2009 did not allow the prayer for regularization as Tax Collector and of granting pay scale. However, he observed that the petitioner at best is entitled to claim for 20% of pay in terms of Rule 103 of the Bihar Service Rule. It is pointed out that vide order dated 11.8.2000 passed in another case (Annexure -6), this court - 2 - directed that such petitioner shall also be considered along with other eligible candidates at the time of appointment in accordance with law. Considering the fact that petitioner is working as Tax Collector for more than a decade and has made a representation to the competent authority in regard to his grievance, his case should also be considered in accordance with law along with other eligible candidates when Tax Collectors are appointed notwithstanding the age limit as was directed in order (Annexure -6) and representation should be disposed of within six months from today. Appeal stands disposed of. Neyaz/- ( J.B. Koshy, CJ.) (Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
