No. 14494 of 2006. Since the decision of the learned single Judge is based on the ratio of a Division Bench decision rendered in the case of Dr. Paras Nath Prasad Vs. The State of Bihar and others, reported in 1990 (2) PLJR 248, which, in our opinion, does cover the case of the present respondent, the learned single Judge has committed no error in allowing the writ and giving a direction for giving benefits of the promoted post.

Patna High Court LPA No.278 of 2017(9) dt.13-04-2018 2/2 Appeal has no merit. It is dismissed.
