IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10880 of 2001 GANGA SAGAR SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3. 17.09.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State Mr. Mukhopadhaya, learned counsel for the petitioner fairly submits that from the counter affidavit it is apparent that the period of 25.1.1996 to 6.2.1996 for which the salary was being denied, has been regularized. He, however, makes a grievance that the petitioner is yet to receive the actual monetary benefits of the same. Insofar as the period of 12.12.1996 to 12.3.1997 is concerned, admittedly the petitioner was in custody in pursuance of a criminal case. If he was in custody, the question of payment of any salary does not arise for that period. It is lastly submitted that the issue of grant of increments and Junior selection Grade from the date when his juniors have been granted, is still pending consideration before the respondents. The writ application is disposed with directions to the respondents to forthwith upon presentation of a copy of this order, the monetary benefits and the salary for the period 25.1.1996 to 6.2.1996 be made available to the petitioner. Let a decision with regard to grant of increments and - 2 - the Junior Selection Grade be taken within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order and the actual monetary benefits of the increments be made available to the petitioner within the aforesaid period.
