PLEADER SHRI.SANDESH RAJA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 01/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No.6433 of 2010 ================== Dated this the 1st day of March, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is an H.S.A. working in an aided school. Her grievance in this writ petition is that her retrospective notional promotion is not being taken into account for reckoning higher grade. But, unfortunately for the petitioner, by Ext.P7 judgment, a Division Bench of this Court held that retrospective notional promotion cannot be reckoned for the purpose of higher grades. According to the petitioner, that judgment requires reconsideration in the light of other Supreme Court judgments in the matter. I am of opinion that in so far as Ext.P7 Division Bench judgment is binding on me, I cannot take a decision contrary to the same. Accordingly, following Ext.P7 judgment this writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge
