RESPONDENTS ----------- 03 02.02.2010 Learned counsel for the petitioner is permitted to implead the Bihar Public Service Commission, Patna as party respondent no.5. The original claim of the petitioner was to grant regular promotion to the post of Superintending Engineer with effect from 17.1.1989 and to the post of Chief Engineer with effect from 1.12.1995 with all consequential benefits. The counter affidavit on behalf of respondents at paragraph-12 specifically states that the petitioner is entitled to promotion on the aforesaid post with effect from 17.1.1989 and 1.12.1995 respectively and, therefore, the matter had already been forwarded to the B.P.S.C. for appropriate consideration and orders. 2 In that view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of with direction to the respondent State of Bihar and the Commission to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law for the promotion of the petitioner on the post of Superintending Engineer and Chief Engineer inclusive of legitimate consequential benefits within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order before them individually. Needless to add that all orders of the authorities in the interregnum to the prejudice of the petitioner automatically stand vitiated. The writ application stands allowed. P.K. (Navin Sinha, J.)
