MANORANJAN KUMAR SINHA
Versus
THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS
-----------
4 5.4.2011 The petitioners who are working in Agriculture
Department are aggrieved by the fact that the recommendation of
the Fitment Appellate Committee has been rejected by the Finance
Department.
The ground of rejection are two fold. It is firstly stated
that there is no equivalent post in the Central Government and as
such the sub committee of the cabinet has rejected the plea of the
petitioners and similarly situated persons for grant of equivalent
pay. The second ground is that there are two modes of entry on the
said post and as such, there is a difference in fixation of pay. The
petitioners’ case simply put is that they were working as District
Agriculture Officers in the pay scale of Rs.2200-4000/-. The
replacement of the pay scale of Rs. 2200-4000/- is Rs. 6500-
10500/-, whereas pay scale of Assistant Director is Rs. 3000-
4500/- and the replacement scale has been shown to be Rs.6500-
10500/- which is the same replacement scale granted to persons
who were receiving basic pay scale of Rs. 2200-4000/-.
Mr. P.K. Verma, A.A.G. V prays for some time to
seek clarification on this point.

As prayed, list these cases on 28.4.2011 at the top of
