IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13279 of 2005 SACHIDANAND JHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 5. 11.08.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The pleadings are that juniors to the petitioners were granted graduate trained scale in 1974-75 and that he was given the same as late in 1993. At neither stage the petitioner protested. He retired in 2004. In this writ petition filed in 2005 he alleges that during the period as noticed above he has been denied consideration from becoming Headmaster. At paragraph 10 he states that now he has been superannuated and he has leisure to litigate. The Court ought to have denied the relief on the ground of delay. However, a counter affidavit has been filed that the benefit to those juniors to the petitioner has also been annulled and that when the matter is placed before the Establishment Committee, the case of all including the petitioner shall be considered in accordance with law. If that be so, the writ application is disposed in terms thereof to take a decision expeditiously. AKS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
