IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.8558 OF 2004 S.K.Sarkhel Petitioner versus Union of India & others Respondents S.J.Rairkar, adv. for petitioner. Smt.Jyoti Pawar and Mr.Y.S.Bhate, adv. for respondents. CORAM : A.P.SHAH AND S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, JJ. DATE : 1st November 2004 PC : 1. Heard advocates. 2. Perused the order of Central Administrative Tribunal. 3. It is well settled that a retired employee could have a valid grievance if his juniors have been given promotion before his date of superannuation. But he cannot complain if promotions were made prospectively after his retirement. The employee after his retirement, therefore, cannot claim retrospective promotion from the date of vacancy. 4. Petition is dismissed. (A.P.SHAH, J.) (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J.)
