JUSTICE DEEPAK ROSHAN ----------- For the Petitioner : In Person For the State : Mr. Mihir Kunal Ekka, AC to SC-I For the Bank : M/s. Rajesh Kumar, Amit Kumar, M.K. Sinha, Advocates ---------- 06/ 17.06.2026 The instant contempt application arises out of the order passed by the Writ Court in W.P.(S). No. 3396 of 2021; however, the respondent- Bank preferred an appeal before the Division Bench of this Court, which was registered as LPA No. 503 of 2025 and the Division Bench of this Court has modified the order passed by the Writ Court. 2. For brevity, the relevant part of the order passed in LPA No. 503 of 2025 is extracted herein below: “21. There is merit in Mr Sahani’s above contention. We are satisfied that there was no warrant for the deduction of Rs. 2,10,488/- towards the notional promotion benefits, which had already been paid to the 1st respondent. This payment was unrelated to the fact that the 1st respondent superannuated on 30.06.1999, i.e., well before the formation of the State of Jharkhand. Even the earlier orders of this court directing the State of Jharkhand to initially bear liability and thereafter to take up the matter with the State of Bihar were not given due weight by the Learned single judge. Since these crucial points were missed by the learned Single Judge, interference to this extent is warranted in the learned Single Judge’s impugned order dated 18.12.2024.” 3. Accordingly, the instant writ application is hereby disposed of by directing the respondent-Bank to strictly comply the order passed by the Division Bench of this Court in Appeal. 4. With the aforesaid observations, the instant application stands disposed of. (Deepak Roshan, J.) 17th June, 2026 Kunal/- Uploaded 22.06.2026
