Respondents. ---------------------------------- 2 03.08.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned counsel for the State. The grievance of the petitioner was that inspite of the fact that the posts they were holding , having been changed in a re-organization exercise undertaken by the Department, they have not yet been posted on commensurate posts as per their status and pay scale. 2 Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that the petitioners, were compelled to file a representation before the Principal Secretary, Human Resources Development Department, Bihar Patna but still no order has been passed with regard to their posting .He submits that in view of not being posted on any post, they are not drawing their salary due to which they and their families are suffering from financial crisis. After hearing learned counsels for the parties, this Court directs that the respondent no.4 shall immediately ensure that the petitioners are posted on posts, which are commensurate with their status as well as emoluments attached to such posts. Let this exercise be done within a maximum period of two weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of the order upon respondent no.4.It is made clear that this order is being passed under the impression that there is no legal hindrance to such posting. The aforementioned matter being routine in as much as the office itself has only been reorganized and posts have been re-designated, they may be posted preferably within their cadre if such posts exist. With the aforementioned directions, the writ petition stands disposed off. sudha ( Ahsanuddin Amanullah, J.)
