IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.107 of 2011 3 13.4.2011 Kapildeo Singh son of Late Sheo Balak Singh, resident of village- Monaine, P.S. Wazirganj, District Gaya …. (Petitioner) ….. Appellant VERSUS 1. The State of Bihar through the Registrar Department of Co-operative Societies, Government of Bihar at Patna 2. The Regional Joint Registrar- cum- Manager, Co- operative Societies, Bhagalpur Pramandal Bhagalpur …. (Respondents) …. Respondents ------ Heard learned counsel for the appellant and learned counsel for the State. Learned counsel for the appellant has drawn our attention to statements in paragraph 7 of the counter affidavit filed in the writ proceeding whereby respondent no.2 took the stand that petitioner’s claim for 720 days half pay leave according to Rule 232 of the Bihar Service Code is baseless. According to the counter affidavit, the petitioner has already availed half pay leave for 284 days previously and, therefore, only the remaining half pay leave was sanctioned by the impugned order dated 18.7.2000. Now, the submission is that benefit flowing from the impugned order should be made available to the petitioner. This was not the prayer in the writ petition. - 2 - Hence, we are not persuaded to interfere with the order of the Writ Court. The appeal is dismissed. It goes without saying that if the appellant is entitled for any further benefits on the basis of the impugned order dated 28.7.2000, he would be free to approach the authorities through representation. sk (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
