Petitioners of both the applications served as Clerk in the Directorate of Provident Fund, Bihar. They have superannuated with effect from 29.2.2008 and 31.10.2008 and have filed this writ application for a direction to the Directorate to consider their case for grant of monetary benefit in terms of the Assured Career Progression Scheme with effect from the due date as juniors to the petitioners have already been allowed such benefit. In this connection, it is pointed out that the case of petitioner Ramanand Jha could not be considered earlier as his service records had become traceless along with other 52 - 2 - employees of the Directorate. Result being that his confirmation itself was delayed. So far petitioner Ramdhani Sao is concerned, his service records were available but he was not considered for such grant, although juniors were considered and granted monetary benefit under Assured Career Progression Scheme. Petitioner Ramanand Jha has filed representation dated 9.6.2008, which is contained in Annexure- 10 annexed with his writ application. Representation of petitioner Ramdhani Sao has not been placed on record. In the circumstances, he is directed to file detailed representation indicating the submissions noted above within a period of one month from today and the authorities should consider the representation of both the petitioners in accordance with law and pass appropriate orders as early as possible, in any case within two months from the date of receipt of the representation of petitioner Ramdhani Sao. 3. Both the writ applications are, accordingly, disposed of. Rajesh/ (V.N.Sinha, J.)
