IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13800 of 2009 RAMAKBAL ROY Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2/ 03/11/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner claims that he has been denied consideration for promotion to the post of Assistant Sub-inspector in the Department of Excise. It is his further case that his juniors have been promoted as such on 7.9.2009 causing him hostile discrimination. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that earlier also the petitioner was wrongly denied promotion in 1994. The submission is that he has been denied such consideration only on the ground that he had crossed 50 years of age. He further submits that the issue stands decided by orders of this Court in C.W.J.C. No.14908/04 and C.W.J.C. No.14527/04 apart from certain other judicial pronouncements of this Court as also of the Apex Court. It appears that the petitioner has rushed to this Court in haste without approaching the authorities first with the aforesaid materials. Only if the petitioner files a representation 2 within one month from today, the respondent No.2 and 4 shall be required to take a final appropriate decision in accordance with law with regard to the claim for promotion by the petitioner when they shall be adequately required to deal with pronouncements both of this Court and the Hon’ble Apex Court, if the issues be similar, as contended on behalf of the petitioner. Let such consideration be done and an appropriate reasoned and speaking order be passed within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
