IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1711 of 1998 1. Raghubir Prasad, son of late Bachchu Lal, resident of Katra Baradari, P.O. Chapra, District Saran at present posted at A.C.M.O. Office, Siwan. 2. Paras Nath Singh, son of Sri Rudal Singh, resident of Village Ujain, P.O. Durawanda, District Siwan at present posted at Addl. P.H.C. Jataur, District Siwan. 3. Braj Kishore Sinha, son of late Muneshwar Prasad, Resident of Village Fatehpur, P.O. Ramgarha, District Saran at present posted at Sadar Hospital, Siwan. ------- Petitioners Versus 1. The State of Bihar through Commissioner, Department of Health Office at New Secretariat, Baily Road, Patna. 2. The Director-in-Chief, Department of Health and Family Welfare Office at New Secretariat, Baily Road, Patna. 3. The Chief Medical Officer-cum-Civil Surgeon, Siwan. 4. The Secretary-cum-Commissioner, Department of Finance, Govt. of Bihar. 5. Harihar Prasad, son of not known, Head Clerk in the office of Civil Surgeon Office, Siwan. ---------- Respondents ----------- 7 19.7.2011 Having heard learned counsel for the parties, this Court would find that all the three petitioners have already retired from service and their grievance, either with regard to the grant of promotion in the selection grade or placing them correctly in the gradation list, would have no meaning, inasmuch as, the petitioners have not been able to point out finger towards any one to show that they, being senior to such persons, were overlooked in the case of regular promotion. Moreover, when the petitioners could not get the regular promotion but they had got the benefit of time bound promotion, 2 this Court would not find any merit in that part of the grievance of the petitioners where they had claimed regular promotion in the selection grade. That being so, this application due to subsequent event has become infructuous and is, accordingly, dismissed. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
