The Bihar Government submitted before the Delhi High Court early this month that the process for payment of Jitendra Gupta, the 2013-batch IAS officer of Bihar cadre, is underway and in consideration at PMCH and will be paid to Gupta before the next hearing, which is November 11, 2019.
The Appointments Committee of Cabinet is yet to decide about his posting despite the Delhi High Court's August 4 deadline.
Gupta had to go to multiple hospitalisation, including at AIIMS. The Supreme Court, Delhi High Court and CAT have simultaneously exonerated the officer of all charges framed against him and directed the Nitish Kumar Government to pay the entire backlog salary and foot the medical bill expenses.
Fearing his postings in Bihar, Gupta plead to judiciary, Centre and the State requesting a care transfer.
The Delhi High Court had rebuked the Nitish Kumar Government for ''humiliating, harassing” Gupta.
