Puri, Patna-13 ---------------- Respondents. 6. 17.9.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, and Mr. Harendra Kumar Tiwari for respondent nos. 5 to 7. This writ petition is directed against the order dated 21.10.1995 (Annexure-11), issued under the signature of the Registrar of the B.R. Ambedkar Bihar University, whereby the petitioner’s promotion to the post of Reader has been shifted to his prejudice. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. It appears that the petitioner was promoted to the 2 post of Reader in the Department of Economics, P.C. Vigyan College, Chapra. By the notification dated 16.12.1989 (Annexure-8), he was promoted to the post with effect from 1.4.1985, with a clear stipulation that the same is subject to approval of respondent no.8. It appears that respondent no.8 approved the promotion but with effect from 1.6.1989. The University, therefore, issued the impugned notification, whereby his date of promotion has been shifted from 1.4.1985 to 1.6.1989. It appears from a perusal of the materials on record and on a consideration of submissions of learned counsel for the parties that the date of promotion was shifted to 1.6.1989 for valid reasons. We are, therefore, not inclined to interfere with the impugned order. In the result, this writ petition is dismissed. Vinay/ ( S. K. Katriar,J. ) (Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
