IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC NO.14531 OF 2007 BASHISHTH SHARMA,S/O LATE BAIJU SINGH, R/O VILLAGE BIRPUR, P.S NAUBATPUR, DISTRICT PATNA. …………………PETITIONER. VERSUS 1.THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE SECRETARY, HUMAN RESOURCES DEPARTMENT, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA. 2.THE DIRECTOR, PRIMARY EDUCATION, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA. 3.THE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION, PATNA. ………………………RESPONDENTS. ----------- 02/ 22.11.2011 Heard counsel for the parties. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application for considering his case for grant of B.A trained scale of pay now needs to be considered in view of the judgment of the Full Bench Ram Nath Singh & Ors vs The State of Bihar & Ors, 2009(3) PLJR 384, which have rendered after filing of this writ application on 14.11.2007. In that view of the matter, if the petitioner would approach the competent Authority namely, the District Programme Officer, Patna by filing a representation to stake his claim for payment of B.A trained scale of pay, his case thereafter would be placed by the District Programme Officer before the competent Authority for consideration 2 of grant of B.A trained scale of pay. It would be noted that the petitioner had retired on 31.07.2001 and therefore, till that date any person in the comparative gradation list so prepared by the Authorities in terms of the direction of the Full Bench is found to be junior to the petitioner and yet granted B.A trained scale of pay, the petitioner would be entitled for grant of such pay scale. If, however, the respondents would find that no one junior to the petitioner was given such promotion in the B.A trained scale of pay on the basis of the seniority position shown in the redrawn seniority list as per the direction of the Full Bench in the case of Ram Nath Singh (supra) would simply reject the case of the petitioner by a speaking order. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. Ranjan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
