For the State : Mr. Mrigendra Kumar, AC to SC-10. --------------- 02. 21.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. 2. Petitioner superannuated while serving as Accounts Clerk with effect from 31.07.1995. He has filed this writ petition on 7.5.2007 praying inter alia to direct the authorities to grant him senior selection grade which was granted to his juniors with effect from 1.1.1976 under order dated 4.9.1982 Annexure-2. Highlighting the aforesaid aspect of the matter as also the fact that he was allowed super time scale under order dated 25.02.1997 with effect from 1.3.1989 petitioner filed C.W.J.C. No.5499 of 2003. By filing counter affidavit State respondents cancelled the grant of super time scale to the 2 petitioner under order dated 9.7.2004 which was placed on record of the said writ petition vide Annexure-E series to the counter affidavit. This Court under order dated 18.08.2004 set aside the order dated 9.7.2004 cancelling grant of super time scale to the petitioner. In my opinion, petitioner having prayed for grant of senior selection grade in the earlier writ petition which was disposed of under order dated 18.08.2004, similar prayer made in this writ petition is barred by principle of constructive resjudicata. In the circumstances, I am not inclined to proceed any further with the writ petition, which is, accordingly, dismissed. Rajesh/ ( V. N. Sinha, J.)
