IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA MJC No.3308 of 2008 SHASHIN KUMAR SINHA . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 3/ 12/01/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and for the opposite party. It is submitted that the petitioner had conceded his eligibility for promotion from 18.1.2000. In that background this Court gave direction for consideration and issuance of appropriate orders for promotion. Learned counsel for the opposite party submits that the petitioner passed the concerned examination on 18.1.2000 and thereafter became eligible to be considered whereafter promotion has been granted to him on 7.1.2006. It appears from the order on the writ petition that the eligibility to be considered for promotion arose after the petitioner cleared the relevant examination on 18.1.2000. The direction in the writ petition was not to consider him for promotion from any particular date i.e. 18.1.2000 or any other specified date, but in accordance with law and to issue appropriate orders. If the petitioner is aggrieved by the promotion granted from 7.1.2006 and is of the opinion that he is - 2 - entitled to promotion from an earlier date, his remedy lies in a fresh writ application only. The contempt application is disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
