IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2998 of 2011 RAM NETI CHAUDHARY S/O LATE RAM GULAM CHAUDHARY R/O VILL.-PARMANANDPUR, PO- ARJUN TOLA, VAI-SRIPUR PS- CHERIA, BARIARPUR,DISTT-BEGUSARAI-PETITIONER Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE DISTIRDCT MAGISTRATE, SAMASTIPUR 3. THE CIRCLE OFFICER, VIDYAPATINAGAR CIRCLE,DISTT- SAMASTIPUR---------------------RESPONDENTS ----------- 2 6.7.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Petitioner has the origin in the service of a PACS (Primary Agriculture Co-operative Society) as he was appointed as PACS Manager in the pay scale of Rs. 4000 to Rs. 6000/-. Since majority of the PACS managers at the relevant time ran into difficult situation and went without salary for years together. By the judicial interventions and other directions some of these PACS Managers came to be appointed or accommodated under the State. Petitioner was one of those persons who came to be appointed as lower division clerks vide letter no. 189/Estt. Dated 5.3.2003. Question arises as to what will be the pay scale to which he would be entitled to in the light of the earlier pay scale which he had drawn. After some deliberation the respondent authority decided to grant pay scale to Rs. 4000 to Rs. 6000/- to the petitioner as would be evident from the decision dated 7.1.2011 contained in annexure-C. After this decision petitioner is being paid his salary on that pay scale but learned counsel for the petitioner submits that benefit of arrear will also accrue to the petitioner in - 2 - terms of the decision taken by the respondent. Nothing in this regard according to petitioner has been done but is required to be done because the arrear is as much of right of the petitioner as to the pay scale which has been given to him. There is always a gap between the decision taken and its implementation and at times allocation of funds which becomes an issue. In every decision of such kind taken by the respondents, they ought to have worked out the modality to ensure that the benefit accrues to the petitioner within a time frame so that the petitioner is not compelled to come to this Court again on this issue. In view of above this writ application is disposed of with a direction upon the District Magistrate, i.e. respondent no.2 that he shall also take steps now to ensure that the petitioner shall get the benefit of arrears within a reasonable time frame and whatever is required to be done must be done at his level. This writ application allowed. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
