1 wp6356.09 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO. 6356 OF 2009 _________________________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | appearances, Court's | orders or | Court's or Judge's Orders directions and | Registrar's orders | _________________________________________________________________________________ Shri P.S. Dighe holding for Shri R.L.Kute, advocate for the petitioner Shri V.B. Ghadge, A.G.P. for the respondent/State ..... CORAM : SMT. NISHITA MHATRE & M.T. JOSHI, JJ. Date : 12th August, 2011. . The petitioner has approached this Court contending that the decision of the Maharashtra Administrative Tribunal, dismissing his claim for a deemed date of promotion, is erroneous. The petitioner had contended before the Tribunal that he ought to have been promoted in 1982 itself, as he had completed 45 years of age and was not required to appear for the departmental examination. The petitioner approached the Administrative Tribunal in 1997 and in our opinion, the Tribunal has not committed any error in rejecting the application. 2. It is contended on behalf of the petitioner that the 2 wp6356.09 delay should be condoned and the petitioner ought to be given a deemed date of promotion at least from the date when his juniors were promoted. 3. This contention is unsustainable, as it was not the case of the petitioner before the Tribunal that the deemed date of promotion be given from the date when his juniors were appointed in 1987. 4. The Petition is rejected. ( M. T. JOSHI, J. ) (SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J) ga s/wp6356.09
