IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12636 of 2002 RANA PRATAP THAKUR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 3. 20.03.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner came to this Court with a claim for promotion from the post of Panchayat Sevak to Panchayat Supervisor against the quota reserved for promotional post. His claim was based on a notification of 1983. The writ application was filed in November, 2002, months prior to his superannuation on 31.7.2003. He has been granted such promotion by Annexure-6 dated 23.5.2003. Learned counsel for the petitioner seeks to persuade this Court with regard to his claim for promotion with effect from 1983 under Government circular but is unable to explain why the petitioner waited from 1983 to the year 2002 to stake the claim. In view of promotion having been granted, nothing survives for adjudication. This application stands disposed. AKS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
