IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA LPA No.148 of 2011 RAM CHARITRA PRASAD SINGH @ RAM CHARITAR PD.SINGH, son of Late Boudhu Panjiar, resident of Village-Dadrizala P.S. Sangrampur, District-Munger.. ........ Petitioner/Appellant Versus 1.THE STATE OF BIHAR, 2. The Director, Primary Education, Human Resources and Development, Department, Govt. of Bihar, Patna, 3. The Regional Deputy Director of Education, Bhagalpur, 4. The District Superintendent of Education, Jamui.. ...Respondent/Respondents ................. 3 03.05.2011 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and the State. The writ petition has been dismissed summarily without going into the merits of the petitioner's claim that he should have been granted B.A. Trained Scale of pay from 1.4.1987. The writ petition was filed in the year 2004 after the petitioner had superannuated from service on 31 December 2002. learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that petitioner realized the importance of his claim when he was not granted promotion in the year 1998. In our view, the claim of the petitioner for grant of B.A Trained Scale with effect from 1.4.1987 which was the subject 2 matter of the writ petition filed in the year 2004 and filed after his superannuation has been rightly rejected because the petitioner’s claim had become stale. Such claim may adversely affect others because of limited vacancies in B.A. Trained scale. A submission has been made that matter relating to preparation of gradation list for the purpose of promotion to B.A. Trained teachers is pending in this Court before a Division Bench. That submission is not relevant because the writ petition in question relates only to claim for the B.A. Trained Scale and not for correction or preparation of gradation list. In the facts of the case, we are not persuaded to interfere with order of the writ court. This appeal is accordingly dismissed. Sanjay-II (Shiva Kirti Singh, J) ( Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J)
