This appeal under clause 10 of the Letters Patent of the High Court of Judicature of Patna has been preferred by the petitioner of CWJC No.18347 of 2009, and is aggrieved by the order dated 23.4.2010, passed by a learned Single Judge of this Court, whereby the writ petition has been dismissed, and the order of the respondent authorities declining promotion to the petitioner has been upheld. 2. We have perused the materials on record and considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties. It appears to us that the petitioner is a class IV employee in the service of the B R A Bihar University, Muzaffarpur. Respondent no.5, being junior to him, was promoted to the next higher level of class III post leading to 2 the previous writ petition at the instance of the present petitioner. The same was disposed of with a direction to the Registrar of the University to consider the petitioner’s case for promotion which was duly considered and the petitioner’s claim for promotion has been rejected by order dated 27.10.2009, and impugned in the present writ petition. The learned Single Judge has agreed with the order of the Registrar, and has held that the petitioner has been denied promotion for valid reasons stated in the order of the learned Registrar. We entirely agree with the view taken by the learned Single Judge. 3. We do not find any merit in this appeal. It is accordingly dismissed. ( S K Katriar ) ( Amaresh Kumar Lal ) mrl
