IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2191 of 2009 PRITHIVI RAJ Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 13.2.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. The grievance of the petitioner in this writ application for a regular promotion on the post of Assistant Labour Commissioner with effect from 4.7.1985, Deputy Labour Commissioner with effect from 20.4.1993 and the Joint Labour Commissioner with effect from 14.8.2008 in the opinion of this Court can be looked into and in fact decided in the first instance by the Principal Secretary of the Labour Resources Department, Government of Bihar, Patna. This Court is not unmindful that even an earlier order to this extent was passed by Ranchi Bench of this Court on 24.11.1997 in C.W.J.C.No. 4202/1996(R) and therefore, the least that can be said in absence of counter affidavit that if the said order was not complied by the officials of the Labour Department of Government of Bihar they were and are still in contempt. That being so, this Court would 2 direct the petitioner to file a fresh representation within a period of one month from today and in the event such a representation is filed, respondent no.2 shall pass an appropriate order within four months thereafter. It goes without saying that if on account of such consideration and consequential order passed by respondent no.2, the petitioner is found entitled for any monitory relief the same would also be extended to him in a period of one month from the date of such order. This application is, accordingly, disposed of. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
