IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4363 of 2007 Ram Bahadur Singh, son of late Saryug Singh, resident of Village and P.O. Rajla Chatti, P.S. Kurhani, Dist. Muzaffarpur. --------- Petitioner Versus 1. The State of Bihar. 2. The Secretary, Human Resources Development Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. 3. The Director, Primary Education, Government of Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna. 4. The District Magistrate, Muzaffarpur, Dist. Muzaffarpur. 5. The Deputy Development Commissioner-cum-Chairman, The District Education Establishment Committee, Muzaffarpur. 6. The District Superintendent of Education, Muzaffarpur, Dist. Muzaffarpur. 7. The District Provident Fund Officer, Muzaffarpur, Dist. Muzaffarpur. 8. The Accountant General, Bihar, Patna. ---------- Respondents ----------- 2 17.08.2011 Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into account that even though the petitioner has retired from service on 30.6.2004, his claim for promotion in the senior scale of the post of Teacher would still survive, inasmuch as, it is the respondents who had not been able to finalize the Gradation List in terms of the 1993 Rules given retrospective effect from 1.1.1986. Since the direction for drawing a fresh Gradation List was also issued by this Court in the Full Bench judgment in the case of Ram Nath Prasad Singh Vs. The State of Bihar & Ors. reported in 2009(3)PLJR 384 only on 21.4.2009, whereafter, the respondents are said to have 2 drawn a fresh Gradation List in the year 2010, this Court would direct the concerned authorities to ensure that the case of promotion, if not already considered, must be considered within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order and if it is found that the petitioner is entitled for such selection scale of pay of the post of Teacher as per his eligibility and seniority, the same also must be notified with all resultant consequential benefit. With the aforementioned observations and direction, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
