IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6626 of 2001 DEBASISH ROY Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3 9.9.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The period of his absence having been regularized, and that in pursuance thereof he is entitled to certain monetary benefit is purely an administrative issue. The petitioner has already filed a representation in that regard on 28.8.2000. It is unfortunate that the respondents have neither bothered to dispose his representation nor file counter affidavit since 2001. No useful purpose shall be served by keeping this writ application pending for filing of the counter affidavit. The writ application is disposed with direction to the respondents to consider the claim of the petitioner in light of representation and order of regularization dated 20.11.1999 for the periods in question and pass a reasoned order thereupon in accordance with law within a maximum period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. This Court expects that while considering such representation any other issues with regard to increment, pay fixation and time bound promotion shall be appropriately considered. The writ application stands disposed. shahid (Navin Sinha,J ) - 2 -
