IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3083 of 2007 Raghav Kumar, son of Janardan Prasad Singh, resident of Village- Kapripur, P.S. Basantpur, District- Siwan ----- Petitioner. Versus 1. Union of India through the Inspector General of Police, Central Reserve Police Force, Bihar, Sector, Patna. 2. Additional Deputy Inspector General of Police, Group Centre, Central Reserve Police Force, Mokama Ghat, Bihar. 3. Commanding Officer, 4th Battalion, Central Reserve Police Force, Smellpur, Jammu -------- ------- Respondents. ---------- 2. 30.9.2008 Heard Mr. Abhay Kumar for the petitioner. None appears on behalf of the respondents. The petitioner is in the service of the Central Reserve Police Force as a sepoy. He submitted an application for stepping-up of his salary which has been rejected by order dated 17.2.2006 (Annexure-8), passed by respondent no.2( Additional Deputy Inspector General of Police). It appears from perusal of the same that the petitioner was required to submit his option for the relief prayed for herein. The petitioner did not submit his option giving preference for the same. In that view of the matter, the stepping-up the salary of the petitioner was rightly rejected. The impugned order can not be faulted. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. Vinay/ ( S. K.
