IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.15846 of 2009 1. DEVANAND S/O LATE SANT LAL YADAV R/OVILL MOHALLA- EAST NAND GOLA, P.S.MALSALAMI, DISTT- PATNA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. SECRETARY ROAD CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE ENGINEER IN CHIEF CUM ADDITIONAL COMMISSIONER CUM SPECIAL SECRETARY, ROAD CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT BIHAR,PATNA ----------- 2. 18.12.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Moulding the prayer during the course of submissions, learned counsel submits that the placement of the petitioner in the gradation list of Junior Engineer in the Public Works Department is not in consonance with law. It places him below persons junior to him when earlier based on the date of his confirmation (that is 4.8.1983), the petitioner has been shown senior to those persons and has also been granted certain benefits of time bound promotion reckoning him as senior to those who have now been shown senior to the petitioner. The petitioner had earlier filed an objection to the gradation list and the result of which was never communicated to the petitioner. If the petitioner files detailed representation setting out the grounds on which he is aggrieved with regard to his placement in the gradation list and discloses materials with regard to the persons who he claims were junior to him based on confirmation and have now been shown as senior, this 2 Court requires the respondents to dispose of the representation of the petitioner by a reasoned and speaking order dealing adequately with the issues raised in the representation so that judicial review of such order be facilitated, should the need arise in the same. Let the same be done preferably within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
