IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12109 of 2008 RAM SEVAK ROY Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4/ 23-Sep-08 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. By the impugned order contained in Annexure-4 petitioner has been relieved from the post of Block Education Extension Officer, Sonepur, Saran in the State of Bihar because as per final allocation of employees of the department on account of bifurcation of the State and creation of a separate State of Jharkhand under the Act, 2000, the petitioner has been allocated to the State of Jharkhand. On behalf of the petitioner it has been submitted that he has made a protest against his final allocation to the State of Jharkhand and the matter is under consideration. This Court is not presently concerned with the merit of petitioner’s claim for challenging the final allocation. That matter may be processed by the concerned authority in accordance with law. It is expected that a final decision on such request shall be taken in accordance with law within a reasonable time. When the petitioner has been finally allocated to the State of Jharkhand, the concerned 2 authority of Education Department, Government of Bihar are well within their legal duties and rights in relieving the petitioner from his post in the State of Bihar. As a result, this Court finds no illegality in the impugned order. Hence, the writ application is, therefore, dismissed. It is expected that the arrear of petitioner’s salary to which he may be entitled in accordance with law shall be paid to him without any delay. perwez (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
