IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Letters Patent Appeal No.1987 of 2010 In (CIVIL WRIT JURISDICTION CASE 15852/2005) Ram Bilash Singh, son of Bajo Singh, resident of Mohalla- New Area, Nawadah Town, PS + District- Nawadah .....Appellant Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. The Director, Panchayati Raj, Bihar, Patna 3. The District Panchayat Raj Officer, Nawadah 4. The District Magistrate, Nawadah 5. The Block Development Officer, Sirdalla, District Nawadah 6. The Circle Officer, Sirdalla, Nawadah .......Respondents ---------------------------------- 2 09-11-2011 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and perused the order under appeal. The writ court has rightly dismissed the writ petition because petitioner superannuated from service in October, 1999 and till then no person junior to him had been promoted. Even subsequent promotion effected in May, 2003 whereunder persons junior to the writ petitioner also got promoted is only prospective. In such circumstances, the writ petitioner, appellant herein, cannot claim that any legal right of promotion has been violated. We find no merit in this appeal. It is, accordingly, dismissed.
