IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2398 of 2001 JAGDISH PRASAD SAHU Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3. 03.09.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The claim in the writ application is to be considered for promotion on the post of Head clerk to which post his juniors have been promoted ignoring his case, though he claims to have been seniormost Correspondence clerk. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondent no.5. Paragraph 6 and 7 of the same read together says that the petitioner has been given promotion to the post of Head clerk with effect from 23.11.1993 and all consequential benefits of fixation of pay etc. as also retirement benefits have been paid to the petitioner. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner points out from Annexure-A serious to the counter affidavit, the order of promotion, that only notional promotion has been given without the monetary benefits. In the facts of the case, it is apparent that the petitioner being eligible for promotion, his case was not being considered and that the respondents woke up only after the present writ application was instituted. The petitioner is, therefore, held entitled to full monetary benefits of the promotional post from the date he has been promoted, less - 2 - the salary already paid to him. Let the compliance be done within a maximum period of four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed off. HR ( Navin Sinha )
