IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2515 of 2009 KAUSHAL KUMAR VERMA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2 26/2/2009 Heard the parties. The grievance of the petitioner in this writ application with regard to grant of certain benefit under the scheme of A.C.P. (Assured Career Progression) first and second seems to be pending consideration before the Secretary of Bihar State Housing Board where petitioner is said to have filed a representation on 20.11.2008. It is the case of the petitioner that juniors to him have already been given such benefit of A.C.P. and as such denial of the same benefit to him would amount to discrimination. This Court for the time being, without going into merits of such claim of the petitioner, would only direct the Secretary of Bihar State Housing Board to dispose of the above mentioned representation of the petitioner dated 20.11.2008 (Annexure-4 to the writ application) by passing a speaking order within a period of three months from the 2 date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. In the event the petitioner is found entitled for certain payment of the amount due to grant of A.C.P. and if such amount has been paid to the junior, the same will also be paid to the petitioner within a period of one month of such order passed by the Secretary of Bihar State Housing Board. With the aforementioned observation and direction this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.) Abhay Kumar
