Having regard to the fact that the petitioner has raised a stale claim of the year 1986/89, normally, this Court would have dismissed the writ application on the ground of unexplained delay but, then, keeping in view that the petitioner still continues in service and his counsel has made a prayer for at least pay-fixation benefit by giving up the claim of payment of arrears of salary arising out of such pay fixation benefit on account of delay of more than 18 to 20 years in moving this Court, liberty is given to the petitioner to represent his case before the District Education Establishment Committee, Begusarai through the District Programme Officer, Begusarai only for allowing pay fixation benefit to the petitioner, in view of the Government resolution dated 18.12.1989. In the event such a representation confined only to pay fixation of the petitioner is filed the same shall be decided by the Committee in accordance of law within a period of four months from the date of filing of his representation along with a copy of this order and if on account of such pay fixation of the petitioner he is found entitled for any higher amount of his monthly salary, the same shall be paid only from the date of the order in next two months without payment of any arrears of salary for the earlier period.
