IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.9279 of 2004 KALI RAJAK, son of late Gobind Rajak, resident of village Hasna, Police Station – Pakri Barawa, District – Nawada. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR. 2. The Director General of Police, Bihar, Patna. 3. Inspector General of Police. 4. Deputy Inspector General of Police, Magadh Range. 5. Superintendent of Police, Nawada. 6. Muneshwar Paswan, son of not known, at present posted as Reserve Inspector Training, New Police Line, Patna. ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. K N Diwakar. For the State: Mr. Mohan Kumar Singh, AC to SC-I ----- 03. 2.8.2010 When the petitioner filed the writ application his grievance was that Muneshwar Paswan (respondent no.6) had been given promotion, who was stated to be junior to the petitioner. The post in question for which the promotion was an issue is the post of Reserve Inspector (Training). When the issue was raised by the petitioner respondent authorities considered the matter, looked into the records and corrected the seniority list where petitioner has been shown at serial no. 128 and Muneshwar Paswan at serial no.132A. It is the stand of the respondents that promotion to the post has been granted only up to serial No.102 of the said seniority list and as and when vacancy arises the case of the petitioner will be considered. The position stated in the counter affidavit reflected the position in 2005. What has transpired thereafter is neither specified by the petitioner nor the respondents. Since almost five years have gone passed it is hoped 2 and expected that in case issue of promotion of the petitioner has not been taken up for the post of Reserve Inspector (Training), the matter would be looked into and appropriate relief would be granted to all the persons who are entitled to the benefit of promotion including the petitioner, if there is no impediment in the way of the legal side. The writ application is disposed of with the above direction. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
