SARAIYA DISTRICT MUZAFFARPUR AT PRESENT WORKING AS EXCISE CONSTABLE C/O SUPERINTENDENT OF EXCISE, SITAMARHI.

For the State :- Mr. Ajit Kumar, J.C. to A.G. ------- 2 22/11/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Keeping in view that the decision of the State government no to grant promotion to certain employees of the Excise Department after they had crossed the age of 50 years became the bone of contention before the High Court which ultimately traveled even to the Supreme Court, the State did not succeed against the direction issued in favour of the petitioner. State was directed to consider the case of promotion by waiving the age bar of 50 years in some of those cases including the recent one which is the case of Surendra Kumar (C.W.J.C. No. 19191 of 2011 disposed of on 4.11.2011. In view of the above, let the case of the petitioner - 2 - also be considered for promotion to the post of Assistant Sub Inspector after relaxing the age bar of 50 years from the date his juniors have been granted, if the petitioner otherwise fulfills other requirements in this regard. This writ application is allowed with the observation as above. AMIN/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
