IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.18489 of 2009 1. NAWAL KISHORE PRASAD S/O LATE SHRI NARAYAN PRASAD R/O VILL.- PAPARNAUSA, P.S. NOOR SARAI, DISTT. NALANDA Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE INSPECTOR GENERAL OF REGISTRATION-CUM-SPECIAL SECRETARY REGISTRATION DEPARTMENT, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE DISTRICT REGISTRAR-CUM-DISTRICT MAGISTRATE-CUM- COLLECTOR PATNA 4. THE DISTRICT SUB REGISTRAR PATNA ----------- 2. 2.4.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The grievance of the petitioner is for denial of opportunity to be promoted from Class-IV to Class-III post in absence of the requisite examination being held against the promotional quota. The counter affidavit of the respondents state that the Bihar Registration Clerk Cadre Rules, 2004 has been framed which provides that there shall be two sources of recruitment to L.D.C. 50 % by direct recruitment and 50 % by limited examination from Class-IV employees. Rule 8(a) of the same provides that first the extra clerks in the department shall be considered for such promotion whereafter the process for promotion by limited competitive examination shall commence. It is apparent that the petitioner shall then become eligible for consideration. 2 In view of the statement made in Paragraph- 13 that 100 % consideration of extra clerks to the post of L.D.C. is to be completed soon whereafter the competitive examination shall start, there is no occasion for this Court to give any further directions except to observe that it is expected that the State shall act expeditiously in the matter to prevent unnecessary heart burning among its employees. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar (Navin Sinha, J.)
