This writ petition is directed against the order dated 17.10.2008 (Annexure-3), passed by the Central Administrative Tribunal, Patna Bench, Patna, in O.A.No. 344 of 2002 ( Basudeo Prasad vrs. The union of India and ors.), whereby the original applicant has been granted the benefit of continuous officiation in a situation where a person junior to him had already been promoted to the senior time- scale on 27.03.2001.
