For the Petitioner : - Sri Yougal Kishore, Sr.Advocate Sri Shiv Kumar Jha, Advocate For the University : - Sri Anil Singh, Advocate. ----------- 02/ 06.11.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and counsel appearing for T.M. Bhagalpur University. Petitioner has retired from the post of Librarian in the year 1999. His grievance is that though he is entitled for first time bound promotion being a non-teaching employee of the College, the University has not given this benefit of promotion to him, despite the fact that allowing time bound promotions to non-teaching employees of the University/Colleges has already been settled by the High Court in the year 2003. Counsel for the petitioner submits that while the petitioner was in service there was no provision for giving time bound promotion to the non-teaching employees as the issue was still undecided whether non-teaching employees are also entitled for first and second time bound promotion. - 2 - Subsequently, in one of its’ decision the Hon’ble High Court decided this issue that non-teaching employees are also entitled for first and second time bound promotion, on completion of 10 years and 25 years of service. Petitioner thereafter on several occasions met with the University authorities for allowing him the benefit of first and second time bound promotion, but till today nothing has been done by the University, as such he has approached this Court. The petitioner is directed to represent his case before the Registrar, T.M. Bhagalpur University within three weeks from today. In case of filing such representation by the petitioner, the Registrar will consider his case for time bound promotion and disposed it of with a reasoned order. Considering petitioner’s entitlement, the benefit should be allowed with effect from he became entitled for first and second time bound promotion, with all consequential benefits. All consequential benefits must be paid not beyond the period of twelve weeks from the date of filing of the representation. DKS/ (Mridula Mishra, J.)
