IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4097 of 2010 1. JYOTI KUMAR VERMA S/O LATE BHUNESHWAR PRASAD R/O C/O VIKAS MOHAN,KADAM KUAN-D BLOCK,GOPAL BHAWAN,P.S.KADAM KUAN,PATNA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR,HAVING HIS OFFICE AT VIKAS BHAWAN ,BAILY ROAD,PATNA 2. THE DEPUTY SECRETARY,HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT HAVING HIS OFFICE AT VIKAS BHAWAN,BAILY ROAD,PATNA 3. THE DIRECTOR ,BIHAR SECONDARY EDUCATION HAVING HIS OFFICE AT BUDH MARG,P.S.KOTWALI,PATNA ----------- 02. 24.09.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. It is submitted that the petitioner was employed as Clerk in the Population Education Cell of the State Council of Education Research and Training. His services have been merged with the Central cadre of Secondary Education with effect from 16.7.2009, but seniority is not being decided. He had come to this Court earlier in C.W.J.C. No. 8944 of 2009, when despite representation filed no decision has been taken. The petitioner desires protection of his seniority in the merged service, and if it is not possible, he may be allowed to go back to his original service as he was sent without his consent. Learned counsel for the State rightly submits that these are matters of policy. If the petitioner has represented in pursuance of the order of this Court and he has had to 2 approach this Court for the same relief again because his representation was not being considered in accordance with law, the situation is unfortunate. Prima facie, it appears that the respondents were flouting the orders of this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 8944 of 2009 rendering them liable to be proceeded with in contempt. Rather than doing so, at this stage, directions are given to consider his representation dated 10.2.2010 and dispose it off by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Failure to consider and dispose off the representation on this second occasion may be viewed very seriously by the Court. The application stands disposed. P.K. ( Navin Sinha, J.)
