NIRANJAN KUMAR SINGH @ PAPPU SINGH SOLE SON OF LATE KRISHNADEO SINGH BOTH RESIDENT OF VILLAGE KHURD LODIPUR, P.S. LODIPUR, P.S. BHAGALPUR SADAR, BHAGALPUR. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE ACOUNTANT GENERAL, BIHAR, PATNA. 3. THE SECRETARY CUM COMMISSIONER, FINANCE DEPARTMENT, BIHAR, PATNA. 4. THE EXECUTIVE ENGINEER (MECHANICAL) MEHANICAL DIVISIOIN, BHAGALPUR. ----------- 3 01/09/2010 This writ application was filed by the legal heirs of the erstwhile employee Krishnadeo Singh claiming that the husband of petitioner no.1 was not given time bound promotion during the period he was in service. She wants a direction in this regard. Stand of the State is that the husband of petitioner no. 1 entered service in the work charge establishment as a Khalasi. Despite the same he had been granted two promotions thereafter which begot benefits in terms of higher responsibility and higher pay scale while the husband of petitioner no. 1 was still in service and was alive. In fact, he has made out a case of recovery. Since the husband of the petitioner has died, - 2 - the authorities have allowed the matter to set at rest. From the counter affidavit it is evident that the husband of petitioner no. 1 got two promotions of substantive kind one after another after being engaged as Khalasi in the work charge establishment and, therefore, no claim for time bound promotion is made out. This writ application seems to be misplaced. It is dismissed as such. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
