IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14276 of 2002 Dr. Hiralal Gupta, Son of late Adhwan Ram, Bihar Health Services (retired) resident of at Kasturba Road, Post Office Bihia, District Bhojpur. ---------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar through the Chief Secretary, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 2. The Commissioner-cum-Secretary, Health and Family Welfare Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 3. The Chairman, Bihar Public Service Commission, 15 Jawaharlal Nehru Marg, Patna. 4. The Secretary, Finance Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna. 5. The Accountant General, Bihar, Birchand Patel Marg, Patna. ---------- Respondents ----------- 3 19.07.2010 No one appears on behalf of the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows:- “2.(i) The impugned order dated 14.2.2002 as contained in Annexure-1 whereby petitioner’s application for grant of supertime pay scale has been rejected, be quashed. (ii) The respondents be commanded to grant supertime pay scale to the petitioner w.e.f. 1.4.86 i.e. after completion of three years. (iii) The respondents be commanded to grant all consequential benefits to the petitioner accordingly.” From the pleadings, it would be clear that the case of the petitioner for grant of Super Time Scale was based on non- consideration of his case. The authority, the 2 Health Commissioner by the impugned order has considered the same and has given the following reasons for not granting Super Time Scale to the petitioner:- ^^eSaus lh0MCY;w0ts0lh0 la[;k&2603@2001 Mk0 ghjk yky xqIrk cuke jkT; ljdkj ,oa vU; esa fnukad 4-5-2001 dks ikfjr vkns'k ns[kkA ekuuh; mPp U;k;ky; us vkns'k nsus dh d`ik dh gS fd vk;qDr ,oa lfpo vkosnd dks lqij VkbZe Ldsy nsus ij fopkj djsaA vkosnd ds ekeys ij xgu :i ls fopkj fd;k x;kA vkosnd Mk0 xqIrk dks 1-4-76 ls duh; izoj dksfV rFkk 1-4-83 ls ojh; izoj dksfV esa izksUufr nh x;h gSA mlds ckn buds led{kh; fpfdRld dks <+kbZ izfr'kr esa izksUufr 1-4-91 ls nh x;h ysfdu vkosnd pwafd 31-1-88 dks gh lsok fuo`Rr gks x;s vr% buds ekeys ij fopkj ugha fd;k x;kA vkosnd dk ;g ekeyk ugha gS fd buls duh; fdlh fpfdRlk inkf/kdkjh dks buds lsok fuo`fRr ds igys izksUufr nh x;h gSA vkosnd ds nkos esa dksbZ rF; ugha gSA vr% izksUufr lacaf/k vkosnd dk nkok vLohd`r fd;k tkrk gSA g0@& ¼v'kksd dqekj pkS/kjh½ vk;qDr ,oa lfpo] LokLF; foHkkx** In view of the above, when the position remains admitted that no person junior to the petitioner was given promotion in Super Time Scale till the petitioner remained in service i.e. 31.1.1988, there would be no question of the petitioners being granted such benefit in isolation. That being so, this application, being devoid of any merit, is dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
