IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13039 of 2009 BADRI MANDAL @ BADRI NR.MANDAL Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 02. 09.10.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The contention is that the petitioner was initially appointed as Chaukidar on daily wages when after an examination he was promoted on 27.10.1987 on Grade-III post of Receptionist. Eighteen years later on 18.03.2005 he was reverted without any procedure being followed. The submission presently is that others who in like manner were promoted along with the petitioner came to this Court in C.W.J.C. No. 6245 of 2005 in addition to C.W.J.C. No. 8412 of 2005. The writ petitions were allowed. In fact the order in C.W.J.C. No. 8412 of 2005 has been affirmed by the Apex Court also in SLP which also came to be dismissed as has been noticed in MJC No. 1584 of 2006. The contention is that the petitioner is also entitled to be accorded similar treatment. Learned counsel for the State very fairly acknowledges that if the petitioner is similarly situated, he may be entitled to similar treatment. The writ petition is disposed with directions to the Respondents to examine the case of the petitioner and if they 2 are satisfied that he is similarly situated as those whose cases have been allowed, they shall accord him similar treatment. If Respondents propose to hold that he is not similarly situated, they shall be required to pass a reasoned and speaking order clearly spelling out the issues and points which distinguishes the petitioner from the earlier orders of this Court and the Apex Court noticed above. Let such exercise be done and completed within a maximum period of three months from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order before the concerned Respondents. The application stands disposed off. Shageer (Navin Sinha, J)
