IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.553 of 2003 PRASHAR SHARMA, son of Shri Yamuna Singh, resident of village Noawan, P.S. Sakurabad, District Jehanabad … Petitioner Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. The Director Chief, Health Services, Patna 3. The Civil Surgeon cum Chief Medical Officer, Jehanabad … Respondents ----------- 3. 2.7.2010 No one appears for the petitioner. Counsel for the State is present. The prayer of the petitioner in this writ application reads as follows: “A. Respondents be directed to consider the case of the petitioner and provide him the first time bound promotion to Junior Selection Grade pay scale by the end of ten years of his service career with effect from 3.2.1989. B. Respondents be further directed to provide the petitioner a consequential benefit of arrears of salary on revision/ commutation of salary benefits.” From a perusal of the writ application and its connected document, it would be clear that the grievance of the petitioner with regard to first time bound promotion is wholly untenable, inasmuch as he himself has admitted that he has not passed the departmental accounts 2 examination. The moment it is found that the petitioner has not fulfilled the required criteria for promotion, he cannot be granted time bound promotion, inasmuch as even under the time bound promotion one has to fulfill all the requisite conditions laid down for regular promotion. That being so, there is no merit in this application and the same is, accordingly, dismissed. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
