Executive Engineer, Pashchimi Koshi, Nahar Pramandal No.2 (Rampatti), Madhubani, District – Madhubani. 5. The Accountant General of Bihar, Patna. ----------- 03. 19.9.2011 Writ has been filed by the petitioner for a direction upon the respondents to revise his pensionary benefits on the revised pay-scale after conferment of 1st and 2nd time bound promotion to which, according to him, his entitlement accrues from 5.12.1994. Petitioner has superannuated from service on 30.6.2003. One of the reasons for him approaching the High Court is that benefits of such kind have accrued to other similarly situated persons but the petitioner has been denied the same. In the counter affidavit which has been filed on behalf of the respondents duly sworn by the Executive Engineer, Western Koshi Canal categorical assertions have been made in para 11 and 12 that one of the reasons for non-grant of second time bound promotion to the petitioner was due to non- confirmation of the first time bound promotion given to him earlier. Respondents are taking steps in this regard. No sooner 2 the formalities are completed after obtaining confirmation from Finance Department, needful shall be done. Submission is limited to grant of benefit of 1st and 2nd time bound promotion. Nothing has been indicated with regard to grant of benefit of ACP as scheme had already come into place when the petitioner has retired effective from the year 1999. After the issues of 1st and 2nd time bound promotion are sorted out, the respondents shall also ensure that claim of the petitioner for grant of ACP will also be looked into and decided at the earliest. The Court expects respondents to complete the formality within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy of this order. Writ stands disposed of with above direction. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
