of this Court as well as Hon’ble Apex Court and the said legal position was never disputed by the respondents. It is the specific case of the petitioner that in compliance of the order passed by this Court, the case of the petitioner was considered and was given promotion in Grade-I scale with effect from 31.10.1994 and Grade-II scale with effect from 31.10.2006. However, the petitioner was denied promotion to Grade-IV scale, though juniors to him have been granted promotion. Thereafter, again junior to the petitioner was granted promotion to Grade-VII scale. Hence, the petitioner has knocked the door of this Court for grant of promotion to Grade-IV scale as well as Grade-VII scale. 3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that in spite of several orders passed by this Hon’ble Court, the respondents have not considered the case of the petitioner for promotion to Grade-IV scale and further to Grade VII scale from the date of his initial appointment and from the date on which the juniors to the petitioner have been considered and granted promotion. Demonstrating the fact, learned counsel submits that one teacher, namely, Kaushal Kishore Gupta, whose position in the seniority list is at serial no. 122, whereas the petitioner’s position is at serial 15, has been granted Grade-IV scale with effect from 11.7.2003. Further one Diwakar Sah and Kaushal Kishore Gupta have been granted promotion in Grade-VII scale vide letter no. 1758 dated 12.12.2018. However, the respondents have not considered the case of the petitioner to promote him to Grade IV scale while the juniors to the petitioner have already been given the same benefit. It is further argued by the learned counsel for the petitioner that juniors to the petitioner have been considered for promotion from the date of his initial appointment, but the petitioner has been denied the said benefits. Learned counsel for the petitioner places heavy reliance on a Judgment/order passed by this Hon’ble Court in case of Binay Kumar Tiwary & Ors. Vs. The State of Jharkhand in L.P.A. No. 388 of 2013 and other analogous cases which was disposed of on 23.03.2017, considering the view reiterated by this Court earlier in case of Arun Sinha Vs. The State of Jharkhand & Ors., in W.P.(S) No. 638 of 2006, which has been affirmed upto the Hon’ble Apex Court.
