IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.110 of 2006 SASTI CHARAN SINHA son of LATE NAGENDRA KUMAR SINHA RESIDNET OF MOHALLA CHHOTI KHANJARPUR, R.B. SURYA PRASAD ROAD, P.S. BARARI, DISTRICT BHAGALPUR. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3 27/09/2010 None appears for the petitioner to press this writ application. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of the State in which categorical stand of the State is that the claim of the petitioner for grant of salary with effect from 1.7.2000 seems to be misplaced as he has been granted promotion only from the date promotion order has been issued in his favour. The date of promotion is stated to be 21.11.2000 and benefit thereof has accrued in favour of the petitioner from that date. Only because the petitioner had been asked to officiate as Office Superintendent from 1.7.2000, that does not make him entitled for payment of salary or pay scale of the Office Superintendent. That was the working arrangement. The substantive claim of the petitioner will accrue from the date of actual promotion and not on the basis of officiation on the post of Office Superintendent for few months. - 2 - This writ application has no merit. It is dismissed as such. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
