IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.181 of 2006 PRAVEEN KUMAR SON OF LATE SHRI NANDAN SINGH ALIAS KRISHNA NANDAN SINGH RESIDENT OF VILLAGE INDUPUR, P.O. BARAHIA, P.S. BARAHIA, DISTRICT LAKHISARAI AT PRESENT POSTED AS PEON IN THE OFFIE OF THE DISTRICT PUBLIC RELATION UNIT. Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE DIRECTOR GENERAL, INFORMATION AND PUBLI RELATION DEPARTMENT, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA. 3. THE DIRECTOR, INFORMATION AND PUBLIC RELATION DEPARTMENT, GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA. 4. DISTRICT PUBLIC RELATION OFFICER, MOTIHARI. ----------- 2 27/09/2010 The Court is not impressed by the statement made by the learned counsel for the petitioner that he has a right for promotion merely because he has better educational qualification or experience of Class III post even though he was appointed on Class IV posts under the compassionate category. There are avenues of promotion from Class IV to Class III post in terms of the Circular issued by the Department of Personnel. If the petitioner fulfills the criteria under that quota, he may claim benefit of promotion. There is no occasion for this Court to give a direction to the respondents to give him class III post - 2 - when he is an appointee under the compassionate category. In view of the above, no order is required to be passed in this writ application and it is allowed to rest. This writ application is dismissed. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
