Mandal ------------ Dated, the 1st October, 2008. We heard the counsel for the appellant and perused the order of the Single Judge and the available material. It is an admitted fact that the appellant has been promoted to the post of Junior Hindi Translator with effect from 13th September, 2007. He wants his appointment to relate back to February, 2005 when the process of promotion was completed. 2. Merely because process of promotion to the post of Junior Hindi Translator was completed in the month of February, 2005, the appellant cannot be said to have become entitled for promotion from that date, particularly when the vacancies arose in the year 2007. The Single Judge considered the matter in the right perspective, justifying no interference by us. 3. Letters patent appeal does not deserve to be admitted. It is dismissed in limine. R. M.
