IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No.6624 of 2010 1. Bhupendra Prasad Verma S/O Late Dhurandhar Prasad R/O Moh Sonbarsa Chouk, Samastipur(South Of M.K.Traders), P.S.Samastipur, Distt-Samastipur Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. The Director, Land Acquisition And Rehabilitation , Water Resources Department Bihar, Patna 3. The Rehabilitation Officer Bagmati Pariyojna , Sitamarhi 3/ 16/09/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Of the several claims made in this writ application, the only surviving issue appears to be with regard to the monetary benefits of the 1st time bound promotion, denial of A.C.P. and the rejection of certain claims with regard to the traveling allowance. Insofar as the traveling allowance is concerned, in view of the statement made in paragraph- 3(iii) of the counter affidavit the Court finds it difficult to consider the claim. If the petitioner removes the deficiency as pointed out by the respondents his claim is required to be considered by them. The grant of 1st time bound promotion is not disputed as also the 2nd time bound promotion. The petitioner acknowledges monetary benefits of the 2nd time bound promotion limiting the grievance for the same to the 1st time bound promotion. The respondents 2 in paragraph-6 make an evasive statement that it ‘is expected to have already been paid by the Special Land Acquisition Officer, Siwan’. Proceedings before this Court and affidavits filed by the parties are a serious matter which the deponent to the counter affidavit considers to be treating very casually. The Court therefore holds that if the monetary benefit of the 1st time bound promotion has not been paid, it must be paid to the petitioner. The petitioner was appointed as a Lower Division Clerk on 7.11.1968 and superannuated on 31.12.2001. The respondents acknowledge the grant of 1st and 2nd time bound promotion to him. It is unfortunate that his claim for grant of A.C.P. has been opposed raising a mindless objection that his services were not confirmed. The Court is at a complete loss to understand how an employee completed his entire service tenure without confirmation, especially when circumstances indicate to the contrary that he has been granted 1st and 2nd time bound promotion and A.C.P. replaces that entitlement. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that pension is being paid to the petitioner. Let the claims of the petitioner with regard to the monetary benefits of the 1st time bound promotion 3 and claim for A.C.P. along with financial benefits be considered and disposed off within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. Needless to state that if the respondents find justification in the claims or in any part of the claims, including the balance claim of the traveling allowance to their satisfaction, necessary consequential orders shall be passed simultaneously within the same period. The writ application stands disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
