Mr. M. Haque, GP 12 and Mr. Manish Kumar, AC to GP 12 ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE MADHURESH PRASAD ORAL JUDGMENT Date : 27-02-2019 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned counsel for the State.

The admitted position on factual basis is that the petitioners in the four writ petitions were appointed on compassionate ground as Correspondence Clerk after 28.9.1999. Petitioners are therefore similarly situated as the beneficiaries of the Government decision dated 25.3.2015, whereby the scale of Rs.4000-6000 was made applicable to appointees as Accounts Clerk on compassionate appointment after 28.9.1999. Benefits of the same decision was made applicable in case of all the petitioners by the Government decision dated 16.7.2015 under Memo no. 6338. The same was subsequently sought to be withdrawn and disparity in the matter of grant of pay scale to the petitioners who were Correspondence Clerk with that of others who were similarly appointed on compassionate grounds was sought to be restored by the Government decision dated 14.9.2015. Petitioners have been agitating for grant of the same scale as that

12/14 granted to others appointee on compassionate ground on the post of Accounts clerk. They were required to represent before the authorities in respect of their claims. Representations were made to the association and finally their claim has been rejected for grant of pay scale of Rs. 4000-6000 being granted to the Accounts Clerk appointed on compassionate ground after 28.9.1999 by the decision dated 29.3.2016 by the Finance Department. The issue regarding scale of Rs.4000-6000, maintaining parity with that granted to Accounts Clerk appointed on compassionate ground after 28.9.1999 has been decided by this Court in the case of Binit Kumar and others Vs. State of Bihar and others, passed in C.W.J.C.No. 9921 of 2017, as affirmed by the Division Bench of this Court in the proceedings arising out of LPA No.

1702 of 2017, preferred by the State of Bihar against order passed in case of Binit Kumar (supra). The appointees as Correspondence Clerk after 28.9.1999, in terms of pronouncement made by this Court in the proceedings arising out of C.W.J.C.No. 9921 of 2017 and LPA No. 1702 of 2017 have been found to be entitled to same pay scale as is being granted to the Account Clerk appointed on compassionate ground after 28.9.1999 and therefore fully covered under resolution of the Finance Department dated 25.03.2015 bearing No. 3111.

13/14 covers the claim of the petitioners inasmuch as there is no distinction in the claim of the instant petitioners vis a vis that of Binit Kumar (supra).

In view of the issue being a covered matter under Clause 4.C (1) of the Bihar State Litigation Policy, 2011, this Court would observe that in order to conduct themselves as an effective litigant under the Bihar State Litigation Policy, 2011, the State Government is obliged to extend the same benefits to the petitioners as has been extended to the petitioners in the case of Binit Kumar (supra), treating petitioners also to be entitled to same benefits under Finance Department Resolution No. 3111 dated 25.03.2015.

In view of the pronouncement of this Court as affirmed by the Division Bench by order and judgment dated 11.07.2018 passed in LPA No.124 of 2018, order dated 14.09.2015 as well as order dated 29.03.2016, issued by the Finance Department, are unsustainable in law and the same are quashed. Petitioners are therefore entitled to the same benefits as has been extended to the petitioners in the case of Binit Kumar (supra). Writ petitions stand allowed in terms of the said judgment in the case of Binit Kumar (supra).

14/14 Intervenor petition has also been filed bearing I.A.No.1 of 2019 in the proceedings arising out of C.W.J.C.No. 13644 of 2016 in support of the writ petition. Intervenor petitioners also claim to be compassionate appointee after 28.8.1999 and entitled to the same benefits.

Since claim of the intervenors to the writ petition is to be examined in light of Bihar State Bihar State Litigation Policy, 2011 as well as in light of the decision in case of Binit Kumar (supra) taken note of herein above, this Court would only observe that if the intervelors' case is similar to that of Binit Kumar (supra), State respondents would be obliged to extend the same benefits to the intervenor petitioners.
