The North Bengal State Transport Corporation & Ors.

Mr. Sufi Masih Aftab ... For the petitioner.

Mr. Amal Kumar Sen, Mr. Sabyasachi Mondal ... For NBSTC Affidavit of service filed in Court today is taken on record.

The petitioner is a retired employee of North Bengal State Transport Corporation (in short, NBSTC). The petitioner retired from service on 31st October, 2021 on attaining the age of superannuation. The petitioner alleges that while in service, the petitioner was not provided with the benefits of Career Advancement Scheme (in short, CAS). The petitioner being aggrieved by such action on the part of the NBSTC has filed the instant writ petition. After hearing the parties and considering the materials on record, I find that justice will be sub-served if I direct the respondent no.2, being the Managing Director, NBSTC, to consider and dispose of the petitioner's representation dated 25th September, 2019, appearing at page 30 of the writ petition along with subsequent

reminders on the selfsame cause within six months from date by a reasoned order after affording the petitioner an opportunity to represent. The reasoned order that may be passed should be communicated to the petitioner immediately.

The respondent no.2, shall decide the matter without being in any way influenced by any observation made in this order.

The parties, including the respondent no.2, shall act on the basis of a server copy of this order without insisting upon production of a certified copy thereof.

Nothing further remains to be adjudicated in this writ petition. The same is disposed of accordingly without any order as to costs.

Since I have not called for any affidavits, allegations contained in the writ petition are deemed to have not been admitted.

Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties, upon compliance of necessary formalities.
