JUSTICE AJAY KUMAR TRIPATHI ORAL JUDGMENT Date: 27-04-2016 Petitioner wants a direction upon the respondents to grant him the benefit of B.A. trained scale with effect from 30.12.2012 since he has acquired a B.A. degree. The B.A. degree in question is not a degree equivalent to graduation in the eye of law because the degree which the petitioner claims to be equivalent to a graduation degree is said to be Sahitya Alankar degree obtained from the Hindi Vidyapeeth, Deoghar in Jharkhand.

Patna High Court CWJC No.7557 of 2014 dt.27-04-2016 2/2 PLJR 353 that the Sahitya Alankar degree is not a degree equivalent to graduation. Therefore, the said degree cannot form the basis for grant of any benefit of B.A. trained scale to the petitioner. The prayer for such a promotion is, therefore, hereby rejected. Writ is dismissed.
