Deputy Inspector General of Police Munger, District-Munger. 4. Superintendent of Police Sheikhpura, P.S.-Sheikhpura, District- Sheikhpura. .......Respondents ----------- 02 17.10.2011 Failure on the part of Superintendent of Police, Sheikhpura to consider the claim of the petitioner for grant of first A.C.P. and second A.C.P. has compelled him to approach this Court in the present writ application. Petitioner had entered service as a constable way back on 25.06.1976 according to him has a clean service record, and nothing of adverse has been recorded in his service book. According to him, he fulfills all the eligibility and therefore he has asserted his right for grant of the benefit. According to him, he is drawing much less salary then even a constable does now. Since verification of the service book would be required to be done at the local level by the concerned authority, as all those details are not available before this Court, therefore, the best option for this Court is to dispose of the writ application with a direction upon the Superintendent of Police, Sheikhpura to take cognizance of the application of the petitioner contained in Annexure-2 dated 13.07.2011 and decide the entitlement of the petitioner for grant of benefit of first 2 and second A.C.P. if necessary by obtaining approval from the competent authority within a time frame of three months from the date of production/communication of a copy of this order. Writ stands disposed of with the above direction. Safik (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
