CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE JYOTI SARAN
ORAL ORDER
2 03-03-2017Heard Mr. Jitendra Kumar Roy, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and Mr. Pratik Kumar Sinha, AC to GA-5, for the State.
The petitioners herein pray for an appropriate direction to the District Magistrate, Nawadah (respondent no.3) for grant of ACP/ MACP in Grade Pay of Rs.4200/- in Pay Band of Rs.9300- 34800 in terms of the resolution of the Finance Department bearing Memo No. 630 dated 21.1.2010.
The submission of Mr. Roy is that although these petitioners have been working since long but have been kept out of benefits since 1985 and in similar circumstances a Bench of this Court in consideration of similar issue has disposed of the claim in a case arising from C.W.J.C.No. 9451/2013 (Brajesh Kumar v. the State of Bihar & ors.) with an appropriate direction providing relief to the petitioner. Learned counsel submits that although the claim has been raised by the petitioners before the District Patna High Court CWJC No.922 of 2017 (2) dt.03-03-2017 5 Magistrate, Nawadah vide representation dated 16.8.2015 present at Annexure 6 and renewed on 7.6.2016 vide Annexure 7 but has gone asking with no result.
Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the grievance raised, I am persuaded to dispose of the writ petition with liberty to the petitioners to file their respective representation before the District Magistrate, Nawadah, espousing their claim afresh together with supportive documents and alongwith a copy of this order and which shall be considered and disposed of in accordance with law by the District Magistrate, Nawadah, bearing in mind the decision relied upon by the petitioners herein passed in the case of Brajesh Kumar (supra), within a period of three months from the date of receipt/ production of a copy of this order.
With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of.
