Respondent/s ============================================= Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Sanjay Kumar Sharma For the Respondent/s : Mr. Ajay Kumar Sinha ============================================= 4 20-09-2011 Learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. Ajay Kumar Sinha for Central Bank of India are present. Heard. Petitioner prays for a direction upon the officials of the respondent Central Bank of India (for short “ the Bank”) to grant sanction and approval for „loss of pay‟. It is the grievance of the petitioner that on account of respondents having not considered his claim for sanctioning loss of pay, he is suffering on account of non-grant of any increment w.e.f. 1.8.1997. It appears from the pleadings on record that the petitioner made a representation in this regard which did not yield any result as a result whereof, he has approached this Court raising the aforesaid grievance/issues. On perusal of the materials on record and after hearing the parties, this Court is of the view that the petitioner should first raise the aforesaid grievance/issue before the respondent who, in turn will consider and pass appropriate but reasoned order thereon enabling this Court to consider the reasons for non-grant of such relief(s), if any. Accordingly, this Court disposes of the application by the following order: Let the petitioner file a detail representation ventilating his grievance before the Regional Manager of the Bank (respondent No. 2) within four weeks together with a copy of the order. If any such representation is filed in the aforesaid manner, the said respondent shall consider and dispose of his representation by a reasoned order within a maximum period of 12 weeks from its filing. The order so passed by respondent No. 2 shall be intimated to the petitioner. PANKAJ KUMAR/- (Kishore K. Mandal, J)
