THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE (PERSONNEL), GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 4. THE DEPUTY SECRETARY, HOME (POLICE) DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA ………… RESPONDENTS ----------- 2. 06/04/2011 Grievance of the petitioner is that he has been promoted to the post of Dy.S.P. much late whereas his juniors, particularly, Kumar Amar Singh and Md.Hasnain, had been promoted to the said post much earlier and thereafter they were promoted to the rank of Senior Dy.S.P. and then Additional S.P. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has already represented in the Department as far back as on 20.1.2009, vide Annexure-14, but the same has not been considered as yet. Since petitioner has a grievance that his case for promotion has been ignored from the due date vis-à-vis his juniors, it is only fit and proper that the same is considered by the Department and appropriate orders are passed. In the circumstances, this writ 2 application is disposed of with a direction to the concerned respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 20.1.2009, as contained in Annexure-14, and pass appropriate orders on the same in accordance with law within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. In case, petitioner is found entitled to promotion from the due date, consequential orders shall also be passed within that time. However, if it is found that the petitioner is not entitled to any relief as claimed by him in his representation, speaking order shall be passed and shall be communicated to the petitioner within that very time. For early consideration of his case, petitioner will be at liberty to file a fresh representation along with a copy of this order. Pradeep/ ( J. N. Singh,J.)
