IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.4497 of 2010 1. NAND KUMAR SINHA S/O LATE BRAHAMDEO SINHA R/O VILL.- BARDIH, P.S.- ISLAMPUR, DISTT.- NALANDA, AT PRESENT POSTED AS INSPECTOR OF POLICE, SENIOR SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE OFFICE, PATNA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 4. THE DEPUTY INSPECTOR GENERAL OF POLICE PATNA 5. THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY HOME, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 6. THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY PERSONNEL AND ADMINISTRATIVE REFORMS, GOVERNMENT OF BIHAR, PATNA 7. THE SENIOR SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE PATNA ----------- 02. 28.10.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner who holds the post of Inspector of Police is aggrieved by the promotion of his juniors to the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police ignoring his claim and desires to be considered from the date that his juniors have been promoted. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondents. The petitioner came to this Court earlier in C.W.J.C. No. 28 of 2002 aggrieved by the denial of consideration for promotion to the post of Inspector, even while his juniors being promoted. While the writ petition was pending the respondents promoted the 2 petitioner to the rank of Inspector on 28.8.2002. It is not in controversy that the petitioner has accepted his promotion and has not challenged the date of promotion. That has therefore achieved finality. The counter affidavit specifically states that those junior to the petitioner who have been promoted to the rank of Dy. S.P. have been promoted for the post of Inspector prior to the promotion of the petitioner on that post and that no person junior to the petitioner in the rank of Inspector reckoned from his date of promotion i.e. 28.8.2002 has been promoted to the rank of Dy. S.P. In that view of the matter, this Court does not find it possible to grant any relief to the petitioner. Needless to state that nonetheless his case for promotion to the Dy. S.P. is required to be considered in accordance with law and the rules from the due date. The application stands disposed with the aforesaid observation. P.K. (Navin Sinha, J.)
