IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.16357 of 2009 1. KARTIK PRASAD S/O LATE SHIV NARAYAN PRASAD R/O MAHNAR, P.S.- MAHNAR, DISTT.- VAISHALI Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE PRINCIPAL SECRETARY, WATER RESOURCES DEPTT., GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA 3. THE JOINT SECRETARY, (MANAGEMENT CELL), WATER RESOURCES DEPTT., GOVT. OF BIHAR, PATNA ----------- 2. 08.01.2010 Learned counsel for the State very fairly concedes that the period of punishment debarring the petitioner to be considered for promotion has expired and the petitioner is now fit to be considered for promotion. The petitioner has already represented in 2009. Let his case be considered and appropriate orders passed inclusive of consequential benefits, if any, within a maximum period of four months from the date of receipt and/or production of a copy of this order. While making such consideration, the Respondents are obliged to consider that grievance of the petitioner also that his juniors have been granted promotion after the period of punishment of the petitioner debarring consideration from promotion had expired causing hostile discrimination against the petitioner and if satisfied they are obliged to consider his case for promotion from the date his juniors have been promoted. The writ application stands disposed. AKS/ (Navin Sinha, J.)
