S.- Mohania, District- Kaimur, Bhabhua, at present Assistant Teacher, Sarvoday High School, Agiaon, District- Bhojpur, Arrah. .. Petitioner. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The Commissioner-cum- Secretary, Secondary Education, Bihar, Patna. 3. The Director, Secondary Education, Bihar, Patna. 4. The Regional Deputy Director, Patna Division, Patan. .. Respondents. ----------- 3. 01.07.2010 No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present. The prayer either with regard to preparation of joint gradation list or giving promotion to him would now become academic inasmuch as the petitioner has since been retired from service. If however any junior to the petitioner has been given promotion during the service period of the petitioner, he may only claim such promotion from the date such promotion was given to his juniors. With the aforementioned observation, this writ petition is disposed of. kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
