IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8074 of 2000 DILIP KUMAR MAHATHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 5. 01.05.2008 Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. The writ application raises two claims. The first is for first time bound promotion, the second is for compensatory allowance under Rule 103 of the Bihar Service Code for the period that the petitioner was officiating on the higher post of Assistant Director, Science and Technology, while holding substantive lower post of Deputy Collector. Learned Counsel with regard to the latter claim seeks limited relief of liberty to file a representation in that regard. On the first claim, learned Counsel submits that the petitioner was appointed as a Deputy Collector on 9.5.1980. He came to be confirmed on 11.1.1991. On completion of ten years of service he was entitled to his first time bound promotion immediately thereafter. Learned Counsel for the respondents in all fairness submits that the petitioner is entitled to be considered for first time bound promotion in pursuance of his completion of ten years of service consequent to his date of confirmation. This writ application is, therefore, disposed off with directions to the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for first time bound promotion and pass appropriate orders thereupon with all consequential monetary benefits within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order. If the petitioner files a representation with regard to the claim of compensatory allowance, this Court expects the respondents to dispose off the same along with the claim for consequential monetary benefits thereunder within the same period from the date of production of a copy of this order.
