The Treasury Officer, Madhepura … Respondents ----------- 8. 19.7.2010 Heard Mr. Dilip Kumar Tiwari, counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows: “(i) For issuance of an appropriate writ directing and commanding the respondents to promote the petitioner to I.A. trained and B.A. trained scale at least w.e.f. the date the juniors have been granted I.A. and B.A. trained scales. (ii) For issuance of an appropriate writ directing and commanding the respondents to promote the petitioner on the post of Headmaster at least w.e.f. the date the juniors have been granted promotion to the post of Headmaster.

(iv) For issuance of a writ in the nature of mandamus directing and commanding the respondents to make payment of arrear and current salary to the petitioner without any further delay.” It is not disputed at the Bar that the case of the petitioner is squarely covered by the ratio of Full Bench decision in the case of Ram Nath Prasad Singh vs. the State of Bihar & ors., reported in 2009(3) PLJR 384. That being so, this case will also be governed by the directions given in the judgment of Ram Nath Prasad Singh (supra). Since the petitioner has already retired from service, the necessary decision in the case of the petitioner, if gradation list has already been prepared, must be taken within a period of six months. With the aforementioned observation and direction, this application is disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) 3
