IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2205 of 2001 RADHA SHANKAR PANDEY Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3/ 2/9/2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The claim in this writ application is, to be considered for promotion from the post of constable in the Department of Excise to the post of Assistant Sub-inspector, Excise. The claim is based on a promotional quota of 50%. One of the prerequisites for the same was ‘completion of C.S.T. Training’. The petitioner bases his claim on Annexure-1 by which he represented to be sent for training or in the alternative to consider his case for promotion without training. The respondents in their counter affidavit have disputed the factum of any such representation by the petitioner. Additionally, learned counsel for the State points out from paragraph-16 of the writ application that the petitioner has superannuated on 15.1.2001 and has filed this application thereafter on July, 2001 seeking the aforesaid relief. There is no right to promotion, but only a right to be considered in accordance with law. Admittedly, the petitioner does not have CST training an essential pre-requisite for such promotion. Both on the grounds of essential facts being in dispute and the delay in pursuing his claim remaining unexplained by the petitioner, this Court finds no merit in this writ application. It is accordingly dismissed. KC ( Navin Sinha,J )
