The petitioner is stated to have superannuated on 31.8.1997 from the post of Assistant District Supply Officer, Jhanjharpur at Madhubani in the pay scale of Rs. 5500-9000/-. He is aggrieved by denial of the scale of Rs. 6500-10,500/- with effect from 1.9.1996. It is contended that on 15.10.2008, 59 Marketing Officer who have since retired have been granted the benefits. Some of them are junior to the petitioner. Learned Counsel for the State from the counter affidavit submits that the petitioner superannuated on 31.8.1997. Sri Ram Pratap Choudhary, the next senior to the petitioner in the gradation list at serial no. 12 while the petitioner was at serial no. 14, has been granted the scale of Rs. 6500-10,500/- only on 1.11.1997 when the vacancy became available after superannuation of the petitioner. The petitioner has enclosed an order granting the scale of Rs. 6500-10,500/- to approximately 59 persons, but there is no pleading and nothing has been urged before this Court to demonstrate that any person junior to the petitioner has been granted the scale prior to superannuation of the petitioner. There is no merit in this writ application. It is accordingly dismissed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
