IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14524 of 2003 SATYENDRA PRASAD ROY & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 04/ 18/02/2010 Learned counsel for the petitioners very fairly submits that the writ petition has become infructuous insofar as petitioner No.2 is concerned. The application is disposed as infructuous with regard to him. This Court is not persuaded at the request of petitioner No.1 to issue a generalized direction seven years after the institution of the writ application to make ad hoc promotions in accordance with seniority only against substantive vacancies. If an ad hoc promotion is made against substantive vacancies, the aggrieved always has the right of a fresh writ petition available to him against the same. The application stands disposed.
