THE SUPERINTENDENT OF POLICE, AURANGABAD-------------- --------------------------------RESPONDENTS. ----------- 2 11.10.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Submission at the bar by counsel for the petitioner that the effect of annexue-10 has created an anomaly and arbitrariness in the sense that juniors have begotten promotion on the basis of the earlier order of the High Court whereas a different yard stick is being maintained in the case of the present petitioner. The impugned order contained in annexure-10 is passed in the light of rational and reasoning which was decided by the Apex Court in the case of Brij Bihari Singh vs. State of Bihar & others reported in 2000 (3) PLJR (SC) 81. The rejection of the claim of the petitioner therefore cannot be said to be arbitrary or irrational. This court has certain difficulty in accepting the stand of the petitioner in view of the settled position by the Apex Court in the case of Brij Bihari Singh and the respondents are - 2 - bound to follow the reasons laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. This writ application has no merit and it is dismissed. RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
