HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24330 OF 2000 ORDER: Petitioner joined in the service of the Lower Sileru Project of the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh Electricity Board, as Lower Division Clerk, on 02-02-1971. Later on, he was transferred to Nagarjunasagar Hydro Electricity Scheme in the year 1978. Certain units of the Electricity Board were treated as one component, for the purpose of promotions etc. In the year 1990, several Lower Division Clerks (for short ‘LDC’), who were juniors to the petitioner, were promoted as Upper Division Clerks (UDC). Petitioner filed W.P.No.8137 of 1993, challenging the said action. The writ petition was allowed on 18-03-1996 and a direction was issued to promote the petitioner, with effect from 24-12- 1990, from which date his juniors were promoted. 2. The grievance of the petitioner is that the 5th respondent, who was junior to him in the post of LDC, was promoted as UDC and thereafter, as Junior Accounts Officer, whereas he was not promoted with effect from the same date as Junior Accounts Officer. The basis for the claim of the petitioner is the order passed by this Court in W.P. No.8137 of 1993. 3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. 4. Petitioner, no doubt, got the benefit of retrospective promotion with effect from 24-12-1990. However, the order of this Court was silent as to any consequential benefits. By the time, this Court passed the order in W.P. No.8137 of 1993 on 18-03-1996, the 5th respondent was already promoted as Junior Accounts Officer on 17-02-1993. If the petitioner had any grievance against the 5th respondent, he ought to have claimed necessary relief in that writ petition itself. He cannot split the cause of action and file separate writ petition. 5. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L.
