7 09/11/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and

learned counsel for the State.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

the petitioner ought to have been given time bound

promotion by calculating the period he had worked in the

work charge establishment. He does not dispute that the

petitioner was not entitled to any benefit while he was in

the work charge establishment. Once he came to be

appointed in the regular establishment, in terms of

Circular dated 27.03.1987 issued by the Finance

Department, this period will have to be considered while

granting time bound promotion.

-2-

Without expressing any opinion on this aspect of

the matter, let petitioner file his claim with a Xerox copy

of the aforesaid circular along with a copy of this order

before the competent authority who shall examine

whether the claim of the petitioner in light of the said

circular makes out a case for grant of relief which he is

looking for which is grant of time bound promotion by

calculating the period he worked in the work charge

establishment.

This writ application is disposed of with a

direction that if petitioner moves before the competent

authority, a decision will be taken and communicated to

the petitioner by him in the matter within a period of four

months from the date of filing such claim.

AMIN/                    (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
