IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CIVIL WRIT JURISDICTION CASE No.17270 of 2008 Sanjay Kumar, son of Late Deobaran Singh, resident of Mohalla Krishnapuri Nand Colony (Kandi Nawadah), P.S. Chandauti, District- Gaya. ………….. Petitioner Versus 1.The Magadh University, Bodh Gaya, through its Vice Chancellor, Bodh Gaya, Gaya, Bihar. 2.The Registrar, Magadh University, Bodh Gaya, Gaya, Bihar 3.The Principal, Gautam Budha Mahila College, Gaya, Bihar. …………. Respondents ---------------------------------- 2. 04/08/2011 Petitioner has filed this writ application for a direction to the respondent University to consider his case for promotion to Class III post in the College. It is contended that the Principal of the College had assigned him work of a Class III post but without salary. It was made clear in the order dated 20.5.1988 passed by the Principal, as contained in Annexure-3, that the financial benefits of the post shall be given to the petitioner only after the said promotion is approved by the University. Promotion from Class IV post to Class III post in the services of the Government and the University has to be in accordance with the Rules and the Statutes. Petitioner cannot claim a time bound consideration in 2 this respect. However, if the Statutes provides for promotion, it is expected from the authorities of the University to consider the cases of all eligible candidates in accordance with law, in a routine manner and without unnecessary delay. The writ application is, therefore, disposed of with a direction to the University to consider taking up cases of promotion of employees of Class IV to Class III as per the Statutes of the University at an early date and petitioner’s case along with other eligible candidates should also be considered.
