IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA

Letters Patent Appeal No.593 of 2017 Arising out of Civil Writ Jurisdiction Case No. 7540 of 2014 =========================================================== Yogendra Prasad Roy, son of Late Lakhan Roy, resident of Village- Bangraha, P.S. Vidyapati Nagar, District- Samastipur .... .... Appellant/s

Versus

1. The State of Bihar, through the Principal Secretary, Department of General Administration, Bihar, Patna.

2. The Principal Secretary, Department of Finance, Bihar, Patna

3. The Accountant General, Bihar, Patna .... .... Respondent/s =========================================================== Appearance :

For the Appellant/s : Mr. S. K. Thakur, Advoate For the State : Mr. P.K. Verma, AAG-3 For the A.G. : Mr. Raghwanand, Advocate =========================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SUDHIR SINGH ORAL JUDGMENT (Per: HONOURABLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE) Date: 16-05-2017 Taking note of the fact that the learned Writ Court after interpreting the cut off date fixed in the notification dated 23.09.2009 has decided the writ petition, we see no reason to make any indulgence into the matter. If it is the case of the appellant that fixing the cut off date as 01.04.2007 was arbitrary and it should have been fixed at an earlier date, may be 1st of January, 2006, when the 6th Pay Commission recommendations was accepted by the Government, this we find was never the case of the appellant before the Writ Court and, therefore, in this appeal the appellant for the first time cannot be permitted to canvass this contention. However, in case the appellant

Patna High Court LPA No.593 of 2017 dt.16-05-2017 2/2 feels that fixing of the cut off date as 01.04.2007 in the Resolution No. 137/08 is illegal and unjustified and if permissible in law, appellant may challenge the resolution and the act of the State Government in fixing a particular cut off date. With the aforesaid liberty to the appellant, we dispose of the Letters Patent Appeal.
