IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6860 of 2006 PRAMOD KUMAR SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02. 16.11.2010 Looking at the fact that charge sheet has already been filed in this case against the petitioner in which cognizance has been taken, though stayed by the High Court at this stage and a kind of enquiry as well is going on whether petitioner actually belongs to scheduled caste category, there is no occasion for this Court to give any direction to consider his case for promotion just because juniors to the petitioner have been promoted. There are materials to hold the promotion of the petitioner at this stage. Petitioner will have to come clean on both the counts before he could assert the right for consideration of promotion to the next higher post. The petitioner may have an occasion to come back to this Court on another day after the issues are resolved either by the criminal court or in the departmental proceeding. The writ application is dismissed with liberty as above. rkp ( Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
