Respondents. ----------- 02- 25.06.2010 Heard Mr. Gautam Bose for the petitioners, and Mr. Ahshanuiddin Amanullah for the respondents. This writ petition is directed against the order dated 8.3.2010, passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Patna Bench, whereby the three original applications, namely, O.A. No.179 of 2009, O.A. No.228 of 2009, and O.A. No.544 of 2008, have been dismissed, and cancellation of the examination for in-house promotion to the posts in question, has been upheld by a common order. 2. Learned counsel for the respondents submits that the present writ petition is covered by the judgment dated 17.5.2010, passed in C.W.J.C. No.8628 of 2010. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the judgment of the Supreme Court handed down on 16.3.2005 in Civil Appeal No.1775 of 2005 (Secretary, A.P. Public Service Commission Vs. B. Swapna and others), reported in (2005)4 S.C.C. 154, was not brought to the notice of the Bench disposing of the said C.W.J.C. 8628 of 3 2010 which, in his submission, if considered, would have made a difference in conclusion of that writ petition. 4. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. The original applicants of said O.A. No.228 of 2009 (Raj Kumar Poddar and others Vs. The Union of India and others), challenged the said order dated 8.3.2010, by preferring C.W.J.C. No.8628 of 2010, in this Court which was dismissed by a Division Bench of this Court to which one of us (S K Katriar, J.) was a party, by judgment dated 17.5.2010. The present writ petition arises out of the said O.A. No.544 of 2008 (Rajesh Kumar Raut & ors. Vs. The Union of India and others). The present writ petition is entirely covered by the said judgment dated 17.5.2010, passed in C.W.J.C. No.8628 of 2010. 4. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed for the reasons assigned in the said judgment dated 17.5.2010, passed in C.W.J.C. No.8628 of 2010. (S K Katriar, J.) (Birendra Prasad Verma, J.) S.K.Pathak/
