IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3977 of 2009 Meena Devi . Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors . ----------- For the Petitioner:- Mr. Anjana Mishra, Adv. Mr. Jai Shankar Pathak, Adv. For the State:- Mr. Gyan Shankar, Adv. For the Accountant General :- Mr. Arun Kumar Arun, Adv. ------------ 2. 21.07.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, the State and for the Accountant General. Despite the filing of the writ petition on 31.3.2009 after serving two copies in the office of the Advocate General on 19.3.2009, no counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the State. A counter affidavit on behalf of the Accountant General is on record. The petitioner is stated to be the wife of the deceased employee who superannuated from service seeking revision of the pay scale from 1.1.1996 and consequent re-fixation of pension and family pension. The counter affidavit of the Accountant General discloses that on queries from the State Government it was advised revision of pay scale from 1.8.2000 which has been granted. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the claim was from 1.1.1996. Since the relief has substantially been granted, 2 keeping in mind that the petitioner is a widow, the Court directs that no sooner when she represents along with a copy of the present order, the said respondents shall not only consider her claims for the period 1.1.1996 to 31.7.2000 but also the consequent revision of family pension, if any, should they find justification in her claim from 1.1.1996. A reasoned and speaking order displaying full application of mind by the respondents along with a recital of all necessary materials in support of the same must be passed by respondent no. 4, within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order before him. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
