IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.16511 of 2009 BINOD KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 2. 12.01.2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the State. The claim relates to consideration for promotion from the post of constable to ASI Excise stated to be vacant. The case of the petitioner is that 50% of the promotional posts are to be filled up by promotion under Rule 45 of the Excise Manual. The petitioner fulfils the conditions for eligibility but yet his case is not being considered when this Court in more than one judgments has held that crossing the age of 50 years also is no bar for the same. It appears that the petitioner has rushed to this Court directly without approaching the respondents first. If the petitioner files a representation within a period of one month from today let the respondents consider his case for such promotion from the date that his juniors may have been promoted within a maximum period of six months from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order and dispose off the same by a reasoned and speaking order. The writ application stands disposed off. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
