COMMANDANT B.M.P. 10, PATNA ----------- 04. 23.09.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The submission from the order dated 05.08.2009 at Annexure-2 is that the petitioner has been promoted as a Hawaldar from 25.08.1981 and as a Sub-Inspector (Arms) from 22.10.1991. He desires consideration of his case for promotion to the post of Inspector from the date that his Juniors have been granted promotion. Notwithstanding the passage of more than eight months the respondents have not considered it necessary to file counter affidavit despite grant of two adjournments also. Learned counsel for the State produces a copy of the counter affidavit in original which was proposed to be filed. The Court permitted him to argue from the same though no copy has been served to the 2 learned counsel for the petitioner also. Having gone through the four page counter affidavit in 13 paragraphs, the court considers it totally perfunctory and casual. If merits no consideration. Let the claim of the petitioner for promotion to the post of Inspector in light of the aforesaid discussion be considered from the date that his Juniors have been promoted and final appropriate orders with consequential monetary benefits passed within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. The application stands disposed off. P.K. ( Navin Sinha, J.)
