IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.6472 of 2009 Ram Bahadur Singh . Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors . ----------- 3. 29.07.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is stated to have superannuated on 31.1.2002. He is aggrieved by the order dated 29.2.2008 which restores his first time bound promotion but declines to grant him second time bound promotion on the ground that his eligibility to the same was acquired on 14.7.1996 but the scheme stood abolished before that from 1.1.1996. The petitioner was granted first time bound promotion which came to be cancelled by the authorities on 31.1.1991. He moved this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 4922 of 2000. The order of cancellation was set aside as being in violation of the principles of natural justice with liberty to proceed afresh. The respondents have opted to restore the first time bound promotion. No material has been placed before this Court to find error with the question of fact of the recitals contained in Item-7 of the order dated 29.2.2008 with regard to his eligibility for second 2 time bound promotion arising after the abolition of the scheme. Learned counsel for the petitioner sought to persuade the Court that certain others have been granted second time bound promotion after abolition of the scheme and acquisition of eligibility after the date of abolition. Article 14 does not operate in negativity to demand parity in illegality. If any benefit has been granted to anyone of a second time bound promotion on an eligibility acquired after 1.1.1996, that is a matter which the Court expects the respondents to examine. Counsel for the respondents refutes the contention that any such illegality has been committed by the State. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
