CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE SUJIT NARAYAN PRASAD

For the Petitioner - Mr. Altaf Hussain

For the Respondents - Mr. A.K.Mehta

13/12.2.2015

The petitioner has approached this Court for grant of promotion in the pay scale of Rs. 1500-2750 with all consequential benefits w.e.f 12.11.2005 on the ground that the persons junior to the petitioner, have been granted the said pay scale.

Vide order dated 23.3.2006, the respondents were directed to file counter affidavit, but till date no counter affidavit has been filed.

Vide order dated 18.12.2009, notices were issued to the respondent Nos. 3 & 4, but the steps for service of notice had not been taken and subsequently the direction was given to take steps for fresh service of notice upon the respondent No. 4.

Since the requisites for fresh service of notice on the respondent No. 4 had not been filed within peremptory time, the writ petition, as against the respondent No.4, stood rejected on 12.7.2011.

Since the matter is of the year 2005, keeping the matter pending will not serve any purpose, hence submission has been made on behalf of the parties that the writ petition may be disposed of.

In that view of the matter, this writ petition is being disposed of giving liberty to the petitioner to make proper representation before the Registrar, Ranchi University, Ranchi (respondent No.2) raising his grievance within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. On receipt of such representation, the respondent No.2 shall consider the same and take appropriate decision in accordance with law within eight weeks from the date of receipt of representation.

It is made clear that this Court has not gone into the merit of the case.
