PATNA, India, July 18 -- Patna High Court issued the following judgment on July 10:
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State.
2. The petitioner has filed the present writ petition for quashing Letter No. P-1/04/09-16-2025/159, Patna, dated 17.04.2025, issued under the signature of the Deputy Inspector General of Police (Personnel), Patna, Bihar, whereby the benefit of 2nd MACP has been erroneously granted to the petitioner w.e.f. 25.02.2016 instead of 25.02.2011.
3. Learned counsel for the State raises a preliminary objection and submits that the State Government has already framed the Bihar Government Servant Grievances Redressal Rules, 2019, and the grievance of the petitioner squarely falls within the definition of "complaint" under the said Rules.
4. Accordingly, the present writ petition stands disposed of with liberty to the petitioner to raise his grievance before the competent authority under the aforesaid Rules. The authority concerned is directed to consider and dispose of the grievance of the petitioner strictly in accordance with the provisions of the Bihar Government Servant Grievances Redressal Rules, 2019, expeditiously and preferably within a period of three months from the date of filing of such complaint.
