====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA and HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DR. ANSHUMAN
Patna High Court L.P.A No.2 of 2021(3) dt.25-08-2022 2/2 ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA) 25-08-2022 Heard learned counsel for the parties.
A perusal of the order passed by the learned Single Bench shows that a direction was given to the Engineer-in-Chief cum Special Secretary, Public Health Engineering Department, Government of Bihar, Patna to consider the grievance of the petitioners-respondents for making payment of difference of salary for the period of their reversion i.e., 1.6.2002 until their regularization i.e., 21.6.2014 within a period of three months. It is not clear whether the Engineer-in-Chief has taken a decision on the order of the learned Single Bench till now. It is thus, inexplicable why the State has rushed to this Court by way of Letters Patent Appeal.
The Letters Patent Appeal is dismissed being premature.
