IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4156 of 2003 RAM PRITI KUMAR, son of late Ayodhya Prasad Singh, posted as Excise Clerk at Madhubani Excise Department, District Patna … Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR, through the Commissioner, Excise New Secretariat, Patna 2. Secretary to the Commissioner, Excise New Secretariat, Patna 3. The Collector, Madhubani 4. The Superintendent, Excise Department, Madhubani … Respondents. ----------- 3. 29.7.2009 No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present. The prayer in this writ application is for quashing of an order dated 8.4.2003, whereby and whereunder the claim of the petitioner for being promoted on the post of Excise Sub Inspector has been rejected by the Excise Commissioner. This Court on perusal of the pleadings would find that not only a reasoned order has been passed justifying such denial of promotion to the petitioner on the ground of eligibility but the same has also been duly explained in the counter affidavit with reference to the concept of promotion in equal pay scale of Excise Clerk, a post held by the petitioner vis-à- vis post of Excise Sub Inspector on which the petitioner is claiming promotion. 2 That being so, this Court would not find any error in the impugned order and consequently this application is dismissed.
