IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.2667 of 2001 CHANDRA MOHAN PRASAD Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 08- 20.11.2008 Heard Mr. Gajendra Kumar Jha for the petitioner, Mr. Ajay Kumar, learned JC to AAG III for respondent nos. 1, 2 and 5, Mr. Ravi Bhushan Verma for respondent nos. 3 and 4, and Mr. Gyan Prakash for respondent no.7 (Nirbhay Kumar Pandey). The petitioner seeks a direction to the Siwan Municipality to promote him from his present class IV post to a class III post. 2. On a consideration of the materials on record and submissions of learned counsel for the parties, it appears that the petitioner was appointed as a Peon, a class IV post, in the Siwan Municipality on 24.10.78. He was then not a Matriculate. He has been denied promotion to class III post. The petitioner complaints that persons who were appointed on class IV posts much after the petitioner’s appointment have been given promotion, and the petitioner’s case has not been considered. It appears to me that the minimum qualification for promotion to a class III post is Matriculation. The petitioner has not produced any material to satisfy this Court that he has enhanced his qualification after his appointment on a class IV post to ensure his entry in the zone of consideration. 3. It is a frivolous writ petition. It is accordingly dismissed. ( S K Katriar ) mrl - 2 -
