IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14181 of 2001 JEEBODHAN RAM Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 6/ 26-Sep-08 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The case of the petitioner is that two persons junior to the petitioner namely, Pitambar Ram and Baleshwar Paswan have been promoted to the post of Subedaar whereas petitioner is still continuing on the post of (Civil) Jamadaar. From an earlier order of this Court contained in Annexure-2 it has been shown that because the petitioner was undergoing punishment of reversion for five years, he was ordered to be promoted to the post of (Civil) Jamadaar w.e.f. 26.8.1990 whereas the aforesaid two persons alleged to be junior to the petitioner were promoted to the post of (Civil) Jamadaar on 28.5.1986. This fact in the counter affidavit of the State is supported by all the materials and hence petitioner has no legal right to claim promotion to the post of Subedaar on the basis that his juniors have been so promoted. It goes without saying that as and when cases of other similarly situated (Civil) Jamadaar are considered for promotion, the case of the petitioner shall 2 also be considered on its own merit in accordance with law. The writ petition is dismissed with the aforesaid observation. perwez (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
