JUSTICE AJIT KUMAR ORAL ORDER 2 15-04-2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners is permitted to make necessary corrections in the writ application during course of the day. 3. The instant writ petition has been filed for the following reliefs:- (i) For directing the respondents to extend and grant of the same benefits such as seniority, annual increments, ACP, etc, to the petitioners (serving/ officiating or superannuated) as has been extended to the similarly situated employees who were appointed earlier pursuant to the same advertisement and panel though the petitioners appointed belatedly due to action/ Patna High Court CWJC No.5225 of 2026(2) dt.15-04-2026 9/10 inaction of the part of the respondent authorities. (ii) For commanding the respondents to extend all the benefits to the petitioners as aforesaid by notionally, before joining and actually after joining with effect from the date the employees admittedly junior to the petitioners joined and received. (iii) For holding that unequal treatment to equally situated employees in the matter of salary, annual increments, A.C.P. and other benefits would amount to denial of right to equally enshrined at Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India. (iv) Any other relief to which the petitioner is found entitled to in the eye of law. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the issues have already been settled by the Hon’ble Apex Court in Balwant Singh Narwal & Ors. v. State of Haryana & Ors., (2008) 7 SCC 728, and that the petitioners’ case is also covered by the judgment of this Court in CWJC No. 15663 of 2022 (Santosh Kumar & Ors. vs. State of Bihar & Ors.). The authorities may therefore be directed to adjudicate the claims of the petitioners, for which representations have already been filed. 5. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State does not dispute the factual position and submits that the petitioners may be directed to file individual representations, providing details of their service profile along with supportive Patna High Court CWJC No.5225 of 2026(2) dt.15-04-2026 10/10 materials for adjudication of their claims. 6. Considering the above, the petitioners are directed to file their individual representations before the concerned authority, along with all supportive documents and the judgment relied upon by them (Annexure-P/2), within four weeks from today. On receipt thereof, the authorities are obliged to adjudicate the claims of the petitioners by passing a reasoned and speaking order within a further period of eight weeks. The benefits to which the petitioners are entitled shall also be extended within the same period. 7. Accordingly, the instant writ application stands disposed of. shikha/- (Ajit Kumar, J) U
