IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.10628 of 2004 Dr. Sheevji Singh, son of Sri Ambika Singh, resident of Damu Chowk, Sheopuri, Muzaffarpur, working as Head of the University Department of Commerce, B.R.A. Bihar University, Muzaffarpur – Petitioner. Vs. (1) The Chancellor, B.R.A. Bihar University, Raj Bhawan, Patna. (2) B.R.A. Bihar University, Muzaffarpur through its Registrar. (3) The Vice Chancellor, B.R.A. Bihar University, Muzaffarpur. (4) The Registrar, B.R.A. Bihar University, Muzaffarpur. (5) Dr. Amod Prasad, Head of Department of Commerce, R.D.S. College, Muzaffarpur – Respondents. 6 9.12.2010 The petitioner has challenged the order contained in Annexure 1 passed in the appeal filed by respondent no.5 before the Chancellor of B.R.A. Bihar University. The challenge is whether respondent no.5 by virtue of being granted time bound promotion earlier in time would be deemed to be senior to the petitioner who was granted merit promotion on a later date (year). I have perused the order of the Chancellor and find no illegality in it and uphold it in view of the discussions made in it. The petitioner may have had a case of being senior to respondent no.5, if he was granted merit promotion on the same date as respondent no.5. However, the facts disclose that respondent no.5 was granted time bound promotion much earlier in time and therefore the petitioner cannot say that he would have a superior claim of being held to be senior to respondent no.5. This writ petition is, thus, dismissed. haque ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
