IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.12145 of 2005 RAM CHANDRA CHAUDHARY SON OF SRI SITA RAM RAJAK RESIDNET OF VILLAGE SUPAULI, P.S. MASAURHI DISTRICT PATNA. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR THROUGH THE CHIEF SECRETARY GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA. 2. THE D.G. CUM I.G. OF POLICE, BIHAR, PATNA. 3. THE D.I.G. OF POLICE (HUMAN RIGHTS), BIHAR, PATNA. 4. THE D.I.G. OF POLICE, TIRHUT RANGE, MUZAFFARPUR. 5. THE S. P. SITAMARHI. ----------- 3 01/09/2010 Petitioner wants promotion on the post of Inspector of police from 4.5.1990, the date his so called juniors were granted promotion by ignoring his claim. According to him, it is a case of clear discrimination which he has brought before this Court in the present writ application. There are two things which stick out against the petitioner. One that he is claiming discrimination against his juniors with regard to promotion order issued in the year 1990 by moving the High Court only in the year 2005, with no clear explanation why the petitioner waited for fifteen years to raise such a belated or stale claim. The other aspect which emerges from the counter affidavit, according to the record, is that the petitioner - 2 - seems to have an exemplary record of kinds in the sense that the petitioner is supposed to have suffered 84 minor punishments and 12 major punishments between the period January, 1982 and January, 1984. It is not the case that the claim of the petitioner was not considered by the Departmental Promotion Committee but with the kind of record the petitioner has in terms of the service rendered by him in those years, it is not going to be a cake walk for him to earn promotions. The writ application is totally misplaced. For the reasons indicated above, no case for a direction is made out. This writ application is dismissed. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
