According to petitioners their claim for benefit of time bound promotion is based on identical set of facts and law which has been decided in the case of Satya Narayan Singh and other analogous cases which is CWJC No. 9190 of 1999 disposed of on 30.10.2009. If the claim of the petitioners in this regard is correct then there is no reason why the petitioner will not get similar benefit as decided by learned Single Judge in the case of Satya Narayan Singh and other analogous cases. This writ application is disposed of with liberty to petitioners that they will lodge a claim showing similarity of facts with the case of Satya Narayan Singh to the competent authority - 2 - and the competent authority will examine the claim of the petitioners and take a decision in light of decision, if taken for persons in similar circumstances, within a reasonable time frame, if the petitioners move the competent authority along with a copy of this order. This writ application is disposed of with the above observation/direction. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
