IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6682 of 2003 SRI NARAIN PD.VERMA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS With CWJC No.7023 of 2003 RAM ISHWAR SAH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. A.K.Verma For the State: Binod Kumar, JC to SC-I. 10 1.9.2008 Both the writ petitions have been heard together and are being disposed of by this common order. The case of the petitioner is that although second time bound promotion was not cancelled but they were put under reduced scale. Thereafter, they moved this court challenging the same. From the counter affidavit filed by the respondents it appears that during the pendency of the writ petition the petitioners case has been considered and they have been put in the scale in which they were granted second time bound promotion i.e. Rs.5,000/- to Rs.8000/-. Necessary order in this regard has been annexed as annexures ‘L’, ‘M’ and ‘N’ to the supplementary counter affidavit. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that he has no knowledge as to whether pursuant to annexures L, M and N pensionary benefits have been revised or not and the petitioners have been paid the amount of arrears or not. In this view of the matter, the writ petitions are disposed of with the direction to the respondents to revise all the pensionary benefits of the petitioners, if not revised, and pay their arrears within a period of three months from today with statutory interest. The respondents shall 2 also refund the amount deducted from the gratuity amount of the petitioners on account of earlier order reducing their pay scale. The petitioners are at liberty to raise any grievance before the authority concerned. The writ petition is, thus, disposed of. Md.S. (J.N.Singh,J.)
