IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.2162 of 2009 RAM NARAYAN CHOUDHARY & ORS Versus BIHAR KSHETRIYA GRAMIN BANK ----------- 4 5-1-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel appearing for Kshetriya Gramin Bank. The case of four of the writ petitioners for promotion appears to have been considered and rejected for various reasons as disclosed in paragraphs 10,11,12 and 12 (duplicate) of the show cause. The rejection orders have been annexed as annexures R/4 to R/7. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the bank has acted illegally and arbitrarily denying promotion to the four petitioners. This Court is not inclined to go into the legality or otherwise of the order denying promotion to four petitioners. Such course of action is open to the respondent bank in view of direction given by the writ court as it was clarified that notional promotion may be granted to the concerned petitioners from due date without monetary benefit only if no serious objectionable material is found to exist in their character roll for the period up to 2000. In the facts of the case the contempt application is 2 disposed of with liberty to the concerned petitioners that if so advised they may challenge the orders denying promotion through appropriate proceeding in accordance with law.
