The State of Maharashtra and others] ..................................................................................................................................................................... Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's order of directions and Registrar's orders ..................................................................................................................................................................... CORAM : A.P. LAVANDE AND P.D. KODE, JJ. DATED : AUGUST 10, 2009. Heard Mr. A.H. Jamal, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mrs. Bharti H. Dangre, learned Additional Government Pleader for respondent no.1. None appears for other respondents. By this petition the petitioner challenges the order dated 4.10.2008 passed by respondent no.3 by which time bound promotional scale has been refused to the petitioner. In October, 2008 the petitioner was holding the post of Laboratory Attendant and was in the scale of 3050-75-3150-80-4590. When he was offered the post of Junior Clerk, which was the promotional post, he refused to accept the same. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the pay scale of Junior Clerk was 3050-75-3150-80-4590 and since there was no difference 2 in pay scales between the two posts, the petitioner did not accept the post of Junior Clerk. It is not disputed that in case the employee refuses to accept the promotional post, the said employee is not entitled to the benefit of time bound promotional scale. The ground given by the petitioner for refusing the promotional post cannot be valid ground for giving him benefit of time bound promotional scale. Therefore, in view of the Government Resolution issued by the Government of Maharashtra, the petitioner is not entitled to the reliefs sought for. Therefore, we are not inclined to entertain the petition. Hence the writ petition is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE Gulande
