IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14370 of 2009 1. LAL BAHADUR SINGH S/O LATE LAKSHMI NARAYAN SINGH VILL- RADHA NAGAR, P.S- RAGHOPUR, DISTT- SUPAUL 2. MOST. POONAM DEVI W/O LATE KAMESHWAR PODDAR VILL- KOCHARDEVA, P.S SALKHUA, DISTT- SAHARSA AT PRESENT C/O SRI MANOJ KUMAR, PODDAR NIWAS, RADHA NAGAR, WARD NO- 13, GANGJALA , PS- SAHARSA SADAR, DISTT- SAHARSA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. SECRETARY, WATER RESOURCES DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 3. DIRECTOR , LAND ACQUISITION REHABILITATION BIHAR, PATNA 4. SPECIAL LAND ACQUISITION OFFICER, KOSHI PROJECT SAHARSA, DISTT- SAHARSA 5. SPECIAL LAND ACQUISITION OFFICE, KOSHI PROJECT SUPAUL, DISTT- SUPAUL ----------- 2. 12.11.2009 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioners and the learned Counsel for the State. The claim for grant of ACP benefits to petitioner no. 1 has rightly been objected by the Counsel for the State from the recitals of the impugned order dated 20.7.2009 declining his claim on the ground that he was not confirmed in service. There is no challenge to this order on facts or law in the pleadings. The Court upholds the objection to the challenge on behalf of the State. In so far as petitioner no. 2 is concerned, the pleadings are again inadequate. It appears that she is widow of the deceased government employee. The objection on behalf of the State is that if that be so her husband never approached this Court or the authorities in his life time and there is no pleading to that effect in the writ application. Considering that petitioner no. 2 is a widow this Court considers it proper to direct that the claim raised by her be considered in accordance with law and disposed by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed off. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
