The Director, Secondary Education, Government of Bihar, New Secretariat, Patna. 3. The Regional Deputy Director of Education, Patna Division, Patna. 4. The District Education Officer, Patna. 5. The District Education Officer, Rohtas. .... .... Respondents ============================================= 3 13-07-2011 Having regard to the fact that the petitioners have already been granted their time bound promotion with effect from their date of entitlement, this Court would find it difficult to now issue a direction for shifting of their due date of such time bound promotion from 21.12.1996 to an earlier date ranging between 19.2.1984 to 1.3.1986, inasmuch as, it is the specific assertion of the respondents in their counter affidavit that the petitioners’ initial appointment as a Teacher in the high school was made by the respective Managing Committee, while they were not possessing the 2 requisite qualification of being a trained teacher. Consequently, even if the school was taken over, their length of service for the purpose of time bound promotion could be counted only from the date they had completed their teachers training course. Admittedly the respondents have taken that date of passing of their training examination by the petitioners for computing the period of ten years. This aspect of the matter in fact stands concluded by a Division Bench of this Court in the case of Om Prakash Chaubey Vs. Director (Secondary Education) cum Additional Secretary, Govt. of Bihar & Anr. reported in 1985 PLJR 1110 ~ 1985 BLJ 394. That being so, this application is wholly misconceived and the same is, accordingly, dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J)
