THE DISTRICT MAGISTRATE, MADHEPURA 3. THE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION, MADHEPURA……………………………………………………………RESPONDENTS ----------- 4. 04.01.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. Petitioners, in this writ application, have prayed for a direction to the respondents to grant them promotion in B.A. trained scale and further promotion to the post of Headmaster from the dates their juniors were granted the same, with all consequential benefits. Learned Government Advocate No.1 very fairly submitted that the case of the petitioners has now to be considered in view of the law laid down by the Full Bench of this Court in the case of Ram Nath Prasad Singh - 2 - Versus the State of Bihar & others reported in 2009 (3) PLJR 384 (Full Bench) and if they are found to be eligible and senior enough, they shall be granted the same. In view of the said stand of learned counsel for the State, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the writ application may be disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the case of the petitioners in the light of the said judgment of the Full Bench of this Court. He also submits that the case of the petitioners has also to be considered vis-à-vis their juniors who have already been granted such promotions. Considering the rival stand of the parties, this writ application is disposed of with a direction to the respondents to consider the case of the petitioners for grant of such reliefs, as prayed in the writ application, in the light of the judgment of the Full Bench of this Court, as referred to above, as also their claims vis-à-vis their juniors, as named in paragraph 9 of the writ application, in case said juniors have already been granted such promotion validly, and pass orders preferably - 3 - within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of copy of this order. It goes without saying that if the petitioners are granted such relief of promotions to B.A. trained scale as well as to the post of Headmaster, they shall also be entitled to consequential benefits at par with their juniors. With the above observations and directions, this writ application is disposed of. B.T (J. N. Singh, J.)
