The petitioner in the present writ petition has claimed that he was appointed as Commercial Tax Officer in the year 1997 , however, persons who were junior to the petitioner and appointed subsequently were promoted ignoring the case of the petitioner, and as such, a prayer has been made to direct the respondents to consider the case of the petitioner. On perusal of the record it is evident that petitioner without demanding justice before the authority concerned has directly approached this court. Accordingly, the court is of the
Patna High Court CWJC No.249 of 2011 (4) dt.27-10-2015 2/2 opinion that in absence of demanding justice before the authority concerned it would be difficult for this court to adjudicate on the issue.
The writ petition stands disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to file a detailed representation regarding his claim for promotion before the respondent no. 2. If such representation is filed within a period of eight weeks from today, the court expects that the respondents may examine the same and pass speaking order in accordance with law preferably within a period of three months from the date of filing of such representation. The writ petition stands disposed of.
