Mrs. Ramjyoti Devi vs State Of Jharkhand Through The Chief ... on 20 December, 2022
In view of the aforesaid judgment passed by Hon'ble Patna High
Court in the case of "Mithilesh Kumar Singh vs. The State of Bihar
and others", (supra) read with the aforesaid judgement of Surendra
Prasad Thakur (supra), the liability to pay the pensionary and other
retiral benefits to an employee retiring prior to 15.11.2000 would be of
the State of Bihar. Even in view of the counter affidavit filed by the State
of Bihar, the petitioner is a pensioner of the State of Bihar and is guided
by the various circulars or guidelines of the State of Bihar. Therefore,
reliance of the petitioner on Annexure - 8 to the rejoinder, to claim any
arrears of pension on the basis of decision taken by the State of
Jharkhand, is misplaced and misconceived and no relief, as prayed for by
the writ petitioner, can be granted by referring to Annexure - 8 issued by
the State of Jharkhand.
