The claim of the appellant is that the<\/p>\n<p>appellant ought to have been promoted before giving promotion<\/p>\n<p>to his juniors and that by virtue of the contents of Ext.P2 Board<\/p>\n<p>Order, the appellant who was working as &#8216;Overseer&#8217; ought to<\/p>\n<p>have been promoted as &#8216;Sub Engineer&#8217; with effect from<\/p>\n<p>15.11.2004, on completion of &#8216;five years&#8217; in the post of Overseer.<\/p>\n<p>It was in the said circumstances that the appellant sought to<\/p>\n<p>approach this Court (along with another petitioner) by filing the<\/p>\n<p>writ petition with reference to the eligibility for further promotion<\/p>\n<p>as Assistant Engineer.\n<\/p>\n<p>           2.

After considering the materials on record, the learned<\/p>\n<p>Single Judge observed that the claim put forth by the appellant<\/p>\n<p>was stale and accordingly interference was declined under Article<\/p>\n<p>226 of the Constitution.
