IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14690 of 2007 1. RADHA MOHAN PANDEY, son of Late Ram Karan Pandey, resident of village-Barkagaon, P. S. Karza, District Muzaffarpur. 2. Md. Hadis, son of Md. Rehman Mian, resident of village Satpura, P. S. Kazi Mohammadpur, District- Muzaffarpur …Petitioners Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR through the Secretary, Public Health Engineering Department, Government of Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna. 2. The Chief Engineer (Mechanical), Public Health Engineering Department, Government of Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna 3. The Superintending Engineer, Public Health Engineering Department, Muzaffarpur Circle, Muzaffarpur. 4. The Executive Engineer, Public Health Engineering Department, Muzaffarpur Division, Muzaffarpur …Respondents ----------- 2. 2.07.2009. Heard learned counsel for the parties. In this writ petition, the petitioners have prayed for following reliefs:- “1. That by this writ petition the petitioners pray for quashing of the order dated 12.6.2007 by which the petitioners have directed to deduct the Provident Fund under the new pension policy which are applicable in case of the employees appointed after 1.9.2005 ignoring the facts that the petitioners were already working as Regular Employees under the work Charge Establishment and were member of General Provident Fund.” From the pleadings, it would be 2 clear that the petitioners have a long history of serving the State Government earlier on daily wages of there being regularized in the works charge establishment and ultimately now being absorbed in the government service. In that view of the matter, the petitioner cannot be treated to be newly appointed government servants so as to deny the benefit of GPF scheme or the benefits which have now been not made available to the newly appointed employees after 1.9.2005. Learned counsel for the petitioners is also correct in placing reliance on an order of this Court dated 18.3.2009 wherein exactly in similar cases of the same department (Public Health Engineering Department) this Court has allowed the similar prayer. That being so, this writ application is also allowed in exactly the same terms as in the order dated 18.3.2009 passed in CWJC No. 6183 of 2008 and its analogous cases. kanchan ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
