Petitioner is a Class-IV employee serving in the Rural Engineering Organization, Work Sub-Division, Jhanjharpur. Earlier he was deputed to serve as a Class-III employee by the Superintending Engineer, Rural Engineering Organization, Work Circle, Darbhanga under office order bearing Memo No. 984 dated 20.11.1990, Annexure-2 which was further extended until further orders under Memo No. 763 dated 1.9.1993, Annexure-3. Petitioner has since been reverted to his original Class-IV post under order 2 bearing Memo No. 285 dated 21.3.2005. This writ petition has been filed praying, inter alia, to direct the State-respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for promotion on the post of Class-III post as others junior to him have already been so promoted even prior to the petitioner being asked to depute on Class-III post. 3. Counsel for the State has opposed the prayer and submits that the case of the petitioner was not considered for promotion as he failed to furnish the typing certificate. 4. Aforesaid submission raised in the counter affidavit is being refuted by the counsel for the petitioner and it is submitted that on the basis of the typing certificate produced by the petitioner he was allowed to depute as a typist. In terms of the notification of the State Government dated 23rd March, 2011 15% post of the Lower Division Assistants is reserved for promotion from amongst the Class-IV employees. 5. Accordingly, I direct the competent authority amongst the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for promotion on the post of Class-III employee in the light of the provisions contained in notification dated 23rd 3 March, 2011 issued by the General Administrative Department of the State Government. Necessary consideration be made as early as possible, in any case within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order before the competent authority amongst the respondents. 6. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. P.K.P. (V.N.Sinha,J.)
