IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.11908 of 2006 SURESH SHARMA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02. 17.05.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Prayer of the petitioner is for a direction to Respondents for revision of his salary, payment of arrears of revised salary and fixation of his post- retirement benefits in the revised scale of pay. Petitioner claims that he got promotion to the post of Tracer in the year 1973 and to the post of Draftman Grade-II in the year 1983 and become entitled for promotion to the post of Draftman Grade-I with effect from 01.01.1996 in the Water Resources Department. He retired on 31st of January, 2000, but his claim was not considered by the Respondent Authorities. The proceeding of the Screening Committee of Water Resources Department, Aurangabad, held on 27.11.2006, has been annexed with the Counter Affidavit, from which it transpires that the Screening Committee, considered the case of the petitioner for his promotion within 25 per cent reserved post, but 2 petitioner was not found entitled for it, for the reason that his position in the gradation list was 08 and he did not posses the requisite qualification. Since both the conditions, which were necessary for promotion against 25 per cent reserved posts, were not fulfilled by the petitioner, his case was rejected. Considering Annexure-A to the Counter Affidavit, there is no merit in this application. Accordingly, it is dismissed. SKM (Mridula Mishra, J.)
