IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.146 of 2008 AHMAD MAJID ANSARI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- For the petitioner :- Mr. Manoj Kumar(Manoj) For the State :- Mr. Rabindra Kr. Priyadarsi 3/C to A.A.G.-III 03. 24.7.2008 Writ petitioner/appellant, aggrieved by the order dated 3.1.2008 passed by the learned Single Judge in C.W.J.C. No. 10820 of 2001, dismissing the writ application, has preferred this appeal under Clause- 10 of the Letters Patent. Facts as appear from the order of the learned Single Judge, are that the petitioner was appointed as Blue Printer in the year 1969 and thereafter promoted to the post of Tracer by order dated 5.12.1977. Thereafter he was granted time bound promotion with effect from 1.4.1981. Later on, by order dated 23.05.1997 he was granted second time bound promotion on completion of 25 years with effect from 30.02.1994. The order granting second time bound promotion was provisional and conditional and it was made clear that the same is liable to be withdrawn, in case it is not approved by the Finance Department. The grant of time bound promotion was not approved by the Finance Department and accordingly by order dated 6.02.2001 same was withdrawn. Mr. Manoj Kumar, appearing on behalf of the appellant, submits that the appellant’s Pay-scale was revised with effect from 1.4.1981 and as such he was entitled to be given the - 2 - second time bound promotion. We do not find any substance in this submission. Neither before the Single Judge nor before us, the appellant had produced any document to show that his pay was revised. The learned Single Judge has found that the same was not by way of revision. We are of the opinion that the learned Single Judge has not committed any error while dismissing the application. We do not find any merit in this appeal and it is dismissed accordingly. P.K. (Chandramauli Kr. Prasad,J.) (Dr. Ravi Ranjan,J.)
