The petitioner is aggrieved by the gradation list of the officers of the Subordinate Education Service (hereinafter referred to as the ‘S.E.S.’). There are two sources of appointment to the S.E.S. One is through direct recruitment on the basis of Combined Competitive Examination conducted by the Bihar Public Service Commission and the other is by way of promotion from amongst S.E.S. on the basis of seniority and recommendation of the Bihar Public Service Commission. Steps were taken to fill-up the vacancies in the year 1991 and the appointments were made from both the aforesaid sources. The persons who applied directly were appointed earlier and the petitioner in the same vacancy of the year 1991 was only promoted in the year 1993. As a result of this delay, the petitioner claims that he has suffered and he ought to have been placed in serial number 1445 whereas he has been placed in serial no.2345. No counter affidavit has been filed in this case although the case is of the year 1996. I, accordingly, direct that the petitioner may file a representation before the Director, Primary Education, who will look into the representation of the petitioner if his grievance has not been - 2 - redressed as yet. This application is disposed of with the aforesaid observations. U.K. (Sheema Ali Khan,J)
