IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4524 of 2010 1. DASRATH PATHAK S/O BRAHMADEO PATHAK R/O VILLAGE AND P.O. NIYAJIPUR, P.S. SIMARI, DISTT.- BUXAR, AT PRESENT POSTED AS JAIL CLERK AT BIRPUR SUB-JAIL, DISTT.- SUPAUL Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF PRISON (JAIL) BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE REGISTRAR OF THE HOME (JAIL) DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 4. THE DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATION PRISON (JAIL), BIHAR, PATNA 5. THE SUPERINTENDENT SUB-JAIL BIRPUR, DISTT.- SUPAUL ----------- 02. 28.10.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner who is scheduled for superannuation on 31.12.2010 from the post of Jail Clerk seeks the relief to be considered for grant of first time bound promotion with effect from 21.9.1988. If the claim was for substantive promotion, perhaps the writ petition would have been dismissed on the ground of delay. But since the limited claim is for grant of first time bound promotion which is not a substantive promotion, but accrues certain monetary benefits only, the Court considers it proper to direct the respondents to consider the representation of the petitioner to be filed along with a copy of the present order and dispose it off by a reasoned and speaking order within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The application stands disposed. P.K. (Navin Sinha, J.)
