The petitioner seeks a direction to respondent nos. 5 to 7 to treat him as promoted to the post of the Reader in the Department of Physics with effect from 1.2.1985. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of learned counsel for the parties. It appears to us that the petitioner was granted promotion to the post of Reader in the Department of Physics by notification dated 28.9.1991 (Annexure-8), and 2 he was treated to have been so promoted with effect from 1.6.1989. The petitioner seeks a direction that he is entitled to promotion with effect from 1.2.1985. We have not been able to discover any sound reason to shift the date of his promotion. We do not find any merit in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed. Vinay/ ( S. K. Katriar,J. ) (Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
