IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5486 of 2009 Krishna Kant Jha, son of Late Pashupati Jha, resident of village- Shrikhandi Bhita, P.S. Sursandh, District- Sitamarhi. .... Petitioner. Versus 1. The State of Bihar, through the Secretary, Water Resources Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. 2. The Under Secretary, Water Resources Department, Government of Bihar, New Secretariat, Government of Bihar, Patna. 3. The Engineer-in-Chief, Water Resources Department, Bisheshwariya Bhawan, Patna. 4. The Chief Engineer, Water Resources Department, Dehari-on-Sone, Sasaram. 5. The Executive Engineer, Sone Canal Division, Buxar, District- Buxar. ... Respondents. ----------- 02. 1.5.2009 Heard Mr. Jai Prakash Verma for the petitioner, and Mr. Ritesh Kumar, learned Assistant Counsel to Additional Advocate General No.1. The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondent authorities to release the benefits admissible to him consequent upon grant of the Assured Career Progression Scheme (hereinafter referred to as the ‘A.C.P.’), with effect from 9.8.1999, in the pay-scale of Rs.6,500-10,500/-. 2. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. It appears from the inter-departmental communication bearing letter no.1680, dated 13.10.2008 2 (Annexure-3), that the petitioner has already been granted the benefit of first A.C.P. Scheme in the said pay-scale of Rs.6,500-10,500/- with effect from 9.8.1999. The said order states that he is not entitled to the benefit of second A.C.P. because he has already superannuated with effect from 30.6.2001. The petitioner raises a grievance before this Court that the money benefit has not been released to him which is, inter alia, affecting his computation of post-retirement benefits. 3. No useful purpose will be served by keeping this writ petition pending in this Court and calling for the counter affidavit. Let the petitioner submit an appropriate representation along with a copy of the present order before respondent no.1, who shall dispose of the same by a reasoned order expeditiously. This Court will be pleased if the entire process is completed within a period of four months of the date of submission of the representation. 4. The writ petition is accordingly allowed.
