It is the assertion of the petitioners that though they are entitled to be granted the aforesaid promotion but the same has not been given to them. There is nothing on record to demonstrate that any such demand was made before the authority. In that view of the matter I am not inclined to give direction sought for by the petitioners. - 2 - However, petitioners are given liberty to file a representation before respondent no.3, Director ( Press & Stationary) Finance Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna, for grant of time bound promotion and promotion under Assured Career Progression Scheme within four weeks from today.
