IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10779 of 2010 1. Parmeshwar Lal Das S/O Kusum Lal Das R/O Vill.- Bhathely, P.S.- Jalalgarh, Distt.- Purnea Versus 1. The State Of Bihar Through Revenue And Land Reforms Department, Govt. Of Bihar Patna, Old Secretariat, Patna 2. The Collector, Purnea 3. The Secretary To Commissioner, Purnea Division Purnea 4. The Deputy Collector, Consolidation Purnea 5. The Block Development Officer, Dhamdaha, Purnea ----------- 3. 11.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The twin reliefs sought are grant for time bound promotion and A.C.P. The petitioner acknowledges grant of first time bound promotion on 6.10.1994 with effect from 25.1.1983. There is no explanation in the writ application on the claim for time bound promotion after completion of 25 years of service not pressed in due time till filing of the writ petition belatedly in the year 2010. Relying on (2010) 8 SCC 701 (Bhakra Beas Management Board Vs. Krishan Kumar V.I.J & Ors.) the Court holds that part of the claim to be highly belated not meriting consideration. The counter affidavit filed by the respondents states that on 1.3.2011 the benefit of first and second A.C.P. has been granted to the petitioner in the scale of Rs. 4000-6000/- and Rs. 5000-8000/-. 2 A grievance is however raised with regard to the appropriate pay scale in which the two A.C.P. have been granted to the petitioner. Matters of pay scale are primarily for the respondents to decide first whereafter the occasion for judicial review may or may not arise. The petitioner may represent for the appropriate pay scale to him in context of the order dated 1.3.2011 granting A.C.P. to his juniors when the respondents are expected to consider and dispose off any such representation in accordance with law at the earliest without unnecessary delay preferably within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of such representation. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
