IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2026 of 2006 SHIV NANDAN PRASAD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 6 13.05.2008 Grievance of the petitioner in this Public Interest Litigation is that the respondents are not adhering to the roaster and not applying the carry forward rule in matters of promotion in all cadres of employees working with the Government of Bihar and as such members of the scheduled caste and scheduled tribe are deprived of the benefit. Mr. Rupak Kumar appears on behalf of the petitioner. State is represented by the J.C. to A.A.G.II. In this Public Interest Litigation, we are not inclined to examine the aforesaid grievance. In case the carry forward rule has been breached or members of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes have not been promoted according to the roaster, nothing prevents them to approach this Court for the redressal of their grievances. We are of the opinion that this Public Interest Litigation pertains to service matter, hence it is absolutely misconceived. It is dismissed accordingly. pkj (Chandramauli Kr.
